Renee’s got this candle blowing down to a science!

Probs came from Mary-Sue and Kaylynn. They’re always spoiling the grandkiddies!

“Can you believe it, Renee? In less than a week you’ll be a teenager, just like your cousins Louis and Isabelle. I’m so excited for you! Becoming a woman is a big deal! Aren’t you excited, dear?”

“Heh, yeah I guess. You said my interests will change too, right? I want to understand all the things that’ll help me fit in.”

“I can’t wait to be a teenager! Renee, tell me all about it!”

The Audition – Angela, Dustin, & Renee

“Hey kiddo!” Dustin was quick to greet his wife and daughter at the door. “How’d the audition go?”

“It was kinda boring, but the director was nice! He let me play Voidcritters while the other kids were reading the scripts, even though mom said he wouldn’t!” Renee was more excited about playing Voidcritters than the audition itself, but as long as she was content, her parents didn’t mind.

“Well, I am so proud of you! And you didn’t even get your dress dirty!”

“Yeah! ‘Cause mom said if I didn’t get my dress dirty at the audition, we can go to Sim Burger when we find out the results, whether I got the part or not!”

“I see…”

Dustin pulled Angela into a hug, so proud of their little girl.

“She was very well behaved.” Angela commented. “Kaylynn also set her up for a modelling photoshoot this Sunday.”

“That’s great!”

“Uh, mom? Can I get out of this dress? It’s itchy and I’m all sweaty!”

“Fine, but you look so pretty!”

“Nuh-uh. I’m ugly.”

“Now, who said that?”

Renee spent too much time out in the snow, but thawed out in time to celebrate Caitlin’s birthday after a bowl of comfort soup!

Caitlin looks so much like both of her parents she’s so CUTE!

“Miss Isabelle, will you please not roughhouse with your cousin in the house?”

“… Sorry, Mayhew.”

“Hey, Renee! How about we do our nails and hair tonight?”

“Uh, no thanks. It’s just gonna get messed up when we go to bed!”

Renee Broke got to makeover her room! Angela was a little sad she wouldn’t have pink walls anymore, but she wanted her daughter to be happy. Now, if only she could talk about something other than Voidcritters and Gremlins!

“So the psychic Voidcritters are really cool!”

…

“I’ve never taken a train! Mayhew usually drives me around in our limo, but Daddy and Papa are thinking about getting me a helicopter when I become a teen! Aren’t you excited for your teen transition, Renee?”

“Uh, not really. But I’m looking forward to being old enough to understand those boy bands you like. Maybe when I’m a teen, I’ll like them.”

Angela teaches Renee how to blow out candles!

Renee as a kid is more concerned with never taking a “nice” picture, much to Angela’s dismay.
