4 Seasons #4 - Aspen and Vinny - Winter Wonderland

Seasons Greetings from Storybrook County.

Sleigh bells ring; are you listenin',

In the lane snow is glistenin',

A beautiful sight! We're happy tonight, 

Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the blue bird,

Here to stay is a new bird.

He sings a love song as we go along,

Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,

And pretend that he's a circus clown.

We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman.

Until the other kiddies knock him down.

When it snows, ain't it thrillin'?

Though your nose gets a chillin'.

We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,

Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,

And pretend that he is Parson Brown.

He'll say, "Are you married?" 

We'll say, "No, man."

But you can do the job when you're in town.

Later on, we'll conspire as we dream by the fire.

To face unafraid the plans that we made,

Walking in a winter wonderland.

(I'm not used to playing with a lifespan this long, so I'm used to my Sims moving faster through their lives. I was going to wait to see what happened with these guys in college, but Vinny kept flirting. And they kept finding each other extremely irresistible, so I just had Vinny pop the question. I am resolute, I think, in holding off the wedding until the challenge is over, so they can get a real place to live.)

Aspen has finally made a human friend: Vinny's BFF's wife Kisha. I'm hoping they can do some double dates or something in the future, but Kisha works as the science facility and is a workaholic.  She and Bradford (Vinny's buddy) are seldom seen together, but they have two toddlers and the notifications indicate their relationship is strong.

Aspen did see Kisha at the Simfest, but she couldn't convince her to join them in playing dominos. Kisha, just took out her laptop and worked downstairs at the bar between performances. 

So far I think I'm going to like winter better than fall. The rain was ridiculous. We're only 5 days into winter at this point, and Vinny crumbled. I was focused on Aspen, and looked over, and Vinny was eating a grilled cheese from the bar! I scolded him, but he claimed he hadn't agreed to the food restriction - it was Aspen that only wanted to eat what she could produce herself. Later, I had to wrestle a plate of nachos from him before he could eat it.  I'm going to have to keep a better watch on this guy!
