#rencel

Last day of daycare before everybody goes on their vacation, and it's Costume Day @ Cel's World.

Batman (Daniel), Superman (Tate), Merida (Veda), Tiana (Yuri), Halle's version of Ariel (Ariel, lol), and Peter Pan (Luca).

Miss Yuri Loren is up first, celebrating her 1st birthday in November.

The littlest pumpkin Vada Fae & The mini cowboy Tate Vaughn celebrating their 1st birthday in December.

which twin tried to jump (fly) out of their parent's arms after seeing the pet cockatiel fly across the room?

Tate. It was Tate.

smile a little if you cut up so badly that you made your mother cry her makeup off before the photoshoot.

now you on the couch with your daddy 'cause he said his Yuri can do no wrong.

Big grin if you opened EVERYBODY'S presents, even though all of yours were wrapped in CARS wrapping paper.

and who gon' tell you something about it? neither parent, 'cause they're both softies.

Do your dancey dance if you gotta save the family image with your cuteness because your parents didn't want to get dressed.

An unstoppable duo, truly.

that is until Daniel forgets that Ariel does not like to share anything she's labeled as hers. that includes her dog, her daddy, the twins (but mainly Vada), and whatever else when it suits her mood.

New Year's Vacation

The Clemens decided to bring in the new year (year 8 of the legacy save timeline) in Gibbi Point for their family vacation.

Just a few days, quiet time and fun with their baby girl.

Mr. & Mrs. Clemens

July 26th became a day full of joy & celebration. It was Lorenzo's 28th birthday, and the best gift was getting to marry the love of his life.

For the ceremony, they kept the moment intimate between themselves and the two who led to them meeting.

Then the big celebration happened back at their brand new home. The living room filled with love, laughter, music, food, and more.

They even got to meet Cole's girlfriend Payton now that they were official.

For the girl who worried about no one showing up for her, and the boy who thought he'd never have a real family; it was the most perfect day of their lives.

The Clemens are doing great! Lorenzo's one promotion away from being at the top of his career. Cel's daycare is doing exceptionally well. And Yuri is excelling in all areas of growth.

The Fyres are in their own little bubble. They've completed their move from Windenburg to Gibbi Point. Gabrielle has been at her absolute best; balancing work, motherhood, and marriage with so much ease. While not at all planning to go back into the music industry, Dominic has been itching to create again just for the fun of it.

The Youngs are at a bit of a crossroads. Morgan has been getting 'knocked down' at every turn it seems, when it comes to her restaurant and while she loves it, she knows there's more (and possibly better).

With his friends traded off to other teams, David feels everything closing in around him as his coach and the organization ignore or flame rumors regarding his career. Basketball has always been the only thing he's wanted to do, but maybe he needs to put his focus elsewhere as a backup.

And over on the ranch with the Abernathys, well... the twins are terrorizing but cute as a pair of buttons. Since it's Winter, Stephan hasn't offered any riding classes or opened his new equestrian center much. While Vonnie works to build back up inventory, and customers, he stays home with the kids and handles her online shipments.

Life's going good for everyone.

Except...

TODDLERS (& one child) GALORE!

The evidence of that big baby boom across my saves are growing so fast. 😭

Because each individual family is going to be doing their own thing to celebrate bringing in Year 8, the Abernathys hosted everyone at the ranch for an early New Year's Eve celebration. Only the kiddos got dressed up, but a time was had by all.

A time for relaxation, reflection on the year they're leaving behind, and setting intentions for the year ahead.

Daniel turned 4 in September.

Ariel turned 3 in March.

Yuri turned 2 in November.

Vada and Tate turned 2 just a few weeks prior (December).

And Luca will be 6 in a few weeks (January).

Stephan whipped out his camera so that the kiddos could take some portraits.
