Here we are still in Belladonna Cove but this time at the Contender residence.
Carlos is still making best friends.
His wife is Cara- they married in Twikkii Island a while back when a holiday romance turned serious.
Cara was given the Voodoo doll and used it to befriend her latest colleague that she brought home from medical school.
With Cara's influence and Carlos' money the downstairs turned into less of a bachelor/sportsman look and more of a light and stylish living space.
Upstairs saw Carlos' old boxing ring disappear and the whole floor was turned into restful rooms. A Master and ensuite for Carlos and Cara and two separate rooms for their newborn twins (born at the end of last round) Carole and Santos, who you may see are resting in their cribs- as well as a second bathroom.
With her latest friend and skills earned Cara is now a G.P
On Tuesday Carlos had a decision to make...
He decided to 'smile pretty' and got himself some nice funds indeed. As Carlos is an elder (91 years old exactly) he has never rolled the wish to retire and for him I broke my 'retire at 70' rule as he was already older than that when the game started. ;)
That evening also saw the twins grow to toddlers.
and thus began a long night of little sleep and teaching skills.
The other thing of note that day was Cara's promotion to Specialist.
Wednesday saw the first heavy snow of Winter.
The Christmas tree went up and a nice fire was lit.
Santa Claus arrived later much to the amazement of the toddlers who were very excited.
Carlos is a good Dad to the twins.
On Thursday Carlos and Cara grabbed a few minutes to themselves to enjoy a quiet dinner.
On Friday the toddlers made best friends and enjoyed learning new skills.
Cara was promoted to Surgeon and made another good friend using her voodoo doll.
Later Carlos gathered his niece Isabel and family, Ravi the postman and Chastity Gere for a party for his children.
Yes! The toddler phase is over! :D
The twins' bedrooms were upgraded accordingly.
Even though they slept through most of it, their birthday party was a great success!
Using her new toy oven present Carole made herself a lovely breakfast muffin on Saturday.
Cara and Santos were working on their body skills outside enjoying the first day of Spring.
The family had a trip to the local store to find more suitable apparel, especially for Santos. They spent much of the day making new friends and came home, napped, skilled and went to bed late.
Sunday morning began with the chidren learning more skills while Carlos had a game of darts.
He and Cara enjoyed a dip in their pool and a game of Marco Polo until lunchtime.
The family took an afternoon trip to the local grocery store where the kids' met new people and the adults bought groceries.
The Headmaster paid a visit and young Santos assured him that he had no intention of ever falling foul of the law.
A high score of 119/90 ensured the children were accepted into private school.
Cara ended her week gaining her 18th best friend. Of course her LTW is to reach the top of the Medical field and she's not too far away from that goal.
As for Carlos, this sprightly 95 year old still enjoys his evening jog!
Summary-
Carlos sure is living his best (long) life, I'm sure having Cara, the twins and his niece Isabel and family close by helps too. Hopefully he'll live long enough to see his twins' next birthdays and maybe even see them off to college.
