Round Eight - Rossi

[kayleigh83]

-
Last Round - The family moved into a new house as they'd outgrown the apartment. Judy got a secondary fortune aspiration. They hired Emilia as a new employee at the coffee shop. Marco became a teen! Judy also had a birthday and became an elder.


.

.


First morning of the Rossi family round! It’s almost Ariella’s birthday, and at breakfast she regales her family with stories about all the cool stuff she’s going to do when she’s bigger, like extreme Simlympic downhill ski jumping. It makes her parents just a little nervous.


.

.

.

.


The kids head off to school on a rainy early summer morning, and Judy gets out her toolbelt to sort out the broken dishwasher yet again!


.

.


Overall their day at the coffee shop is a good one, but not without hiccups!...



One of their employees decided to quit in the middle of her shift!


.


Still did well overall though!


.

.

.


Herbie patiently waits for them to wake up from their after work nap so he can get some snax.


.

.

.

.

.


Everyone’s enjoying some time outdoors in the sunshine!

.

.

.


Ariella builds up a charge, and finds her mark!


.

.

.

Mom and dad enjoying some time on the patio while the weather is so nice!

.

.


Ariella needs to show off!


.


Herbie pretends he’s Simba!


.

.


All of Ariella’s family gathers around her in the kitchen because it’s time for her birthday!


.

.


Here she is all grown up as a teenager! And her stats...


.

.

.


Mateo has a crushing moment of realization that now there will be TWO teenagers in the house.


.

.

.


Marco has a friend over from school, and Ariella’s mean streak really shows itself - the two of them start bickering and getting aggressive almost immediately.


.

.


Things escalate quickly as Ariella fights back! Managed to keep it from becoming a full blown brawl at least, but just barely.


.

.

.


A day at work, Mateo and Judy both trying to hustle those sales!



Marco rolled an ROS to get a grilled cheese secondary aspiration! Before long half the neighbourhood is going to be obsessed with grilled cheese!


.


Marina Harrison plays a round of darts after school!


.

.


Something very special happens between Marco and Marina - first kiss for both of them!


.

.


The fridge was getting bare, so Judy popped over to the grocery store to restock. She stopped for some chitchat with Joshua!


.

.

.

.


The wait at the cashier was a little long, but Judy stuck it out and got her food. Not everyone was so patient…


.

.


Judy is excited about the new espresso machine they got at home - have to take advantage of all they have access to, since they do own a coffee shop!



I had almost forgotten about the cute photos on the wall of Judy and little Marco! <3 <3



Judy and Mateo lined themselves up like this completely randomly, and I just had to take a photo because they look so powerful? The matriarch and patriarch of the Rossi family!


.

.


Not to be outdone, Ariella gets her first kiss too! With Connor Crosby! <3


.

.

.


Now the house is always full of canoodling teenagers!


.

.


Ariella has one (1) entire niceness point, so she can’t help bullying even her own boyfriend. Poor Connor has never been so offended!

That wraps up the Rossi round for now - lots of teen hormones in this update!
