Decorating the main street in Redwood Harbor (soon to be called ‘Thornbird Island’) for my upcoming save. I can’t wait to start playing. Really enjoyed creating this little place!

Our cat, and Mum’s ‘first born’, Stark, passed away. He was pretty old, but we all loved him. He was such a big part of the family, too. Mum’s so torn up.

I don’t know if Gala and I will be getting any pets… it’ll be hard for any pet to live up to Stark.

It was Stark’s time to go…

Scoop Rainbowcy Outtakes | Gala hones her skills

[gallery]

Gala helped Mum and I out in the garden today. Since my main profession will be looking after the house’s garden (and hopefully adding my own personal touch to it!) Gala thought she should learn the basics so she could help me out, just as Dad did for Mum in their day.

Gala and I spent today brushing up on our skills. I want to make sure I can repair any item in the house - you never know when it will come in handy and will save us money.

As for Gala, she wants to become as brilliant at cooking as Mum!

I did it. I finally popped the question to Gala. She said yes.

"Mum told me you were thinking of marrying my little brother."

"Oh, I, er…"

"Please don’t be embarrased. I would love for it to happen!"

"Marzipan, how would you feel if Amaranth and I were to be married?"

"I would absolutely love to have you in our family, Gala!"

Scoop Rainbowcy Outtakes | Christmas gift giving

Everyone exchanged gifts. I think the best gift, however, was just the whole family being there in our newly renovated house. Everyone welcomed Gala with open arms.

Merry Christmas!

The whole family awoke early and Gala decided she was going to be the one to host the gift giving party! It was so wonderful to see her so excited and getting involved in the family!

Apple Blossom and Raspberry of course attended, with Apple Blossom bringing an awesome blueberry pie. Dad was so happy to see her. Apparantly she’s dating an older man (no surprises, yet again, she’s always been off beat) but she won’t tell us who…

Gala and I spent some time alone tonight. I made some salad (my cooking skills are sadly limited…) and we got on our warmest clothes and did some stargazing on the front lawn.

I think the both of us are considering the prospect of marriage, but we’re both too shy to say anything about it just yet. After all, we just moved in together! I might have a word or two to Mum and ask her what she thinks.

I am certain that Gala is the one for me. I just have to get up my nerve!
