Last round, Planet and Jessie were still adjusting to being parents to their twin sons Moat and Harbor when Jessie became pregnant again with a daughter, Ocean. Surprisingly, both Ocean and Harbor grew into full-blooded aliens when they became toddlers.
Um...is there a reason we're all wearing our winter coats inside?
Ocean: Too cold!
Planet: What she said.
Jessie: Shouldn't our house keep out all this...weather stuff?
Yes, but it doesn't exactly keep out the air.
So how's life with three toddlers?
Planet: Oh, just wonderful...
Jessie: And what is this one called?
Harbor: Yucky!
Jessie: (sigh) Want to play outside?
Harbor: Yeah!
Jessie: Ok, let's go get our coats on...maybe we can make it outside before the sun goes down.
Jessie: Come on, Ocean...it's time to go inside. It's getting cold out here.
Ocean: No! Wanna keep playing!
Jessie: You have to listen to Mommy, honey...
Ocean: Why?
Because Father Winter won't like it if you don't, that's why...
Ocean: Who's that, Mama?
Jessie: Oh, um...Father Winter is...
He comes at Winterfest and gives you presents...but only if you're good.
Jessie: Wait...some guy is going to come into our house and give us stuff? What kind of holiday is this?
Who's birthday?
Jessie: The twins. We're having it at the new roller rink...
Jessie: Oh...well this is interesting...
I guess it snowed here already...
Ocean: Snow's fun!
We may not even need to go inside the roller rink...let's just do the party out here.
Ok, one last picture of all of you as toddlers...
Happy birthday, dear Harbor...
Dog lover...we haven't seen that one come up.
And if there was any doubt that Harbor was fully alien, I think this erases it...
Happy birthday, dear Moat...
Huh...that's an interesting combo...
You know, as much as those glasses match his trait I think we might ditch those...
All right, everybody hit the rink...just try not to hurt yourselves.
And it looks like the snow arrived just in time...
All right...here we go...
Moat: It's WinterFest Eve!
Harbor: We get presents tonight!
Moat: And we get presents tomorrow! This is so awesome!
Ocean: Hi, Snowy...
Snowy doesn't talk a whole lot, does he?
How many plates of cookies are you baking?
Jessie: I don't know...this is the first time we've done this. For all I know we're prepping for a bake sale.
Ok, guys, time to head inside...
Moat: Aww, why?
Well, first, because I won't be able to tell if your mom or Ocean get too cold...and also, because it's time to decorate the tree!
Jessie: So, we just put all this stuff on the tree?
Yup. That's all there is to it.
Moat: Didn't the tree we had before have this stuff already on it?
Um...it's more fun this way.
Ocean: Ooh...pretty...
Jessie: Careful, honey...I'm pretty sure these can break...
Planet: Is everybody ready? Here we go...
Harbor: Hey, it is more fun this way...
Planet: Ok, everybody into their pajamas...
Harbor: Pajamas? Why?
Because Father Winter's on his way!
Moat: Dad...when's Father Winter going to be here?
Right now, apparently...
Harbor: Are you really Father Winter?
Father Winter: I sure am, little boy...
Harbor: Wow, thanks...
Harbor: Cool! A model car!
Father Winter: And here's one for you...
And since I forgot to capture it, what did you get?
Moat: A Barfly bear...
Father Winter: And of course we can't forget the littlest one...
Ok, this is too adorable...
Looks like she's pretty happy with her gift...
Even though she's going to have to wait to use it...
Can't leave the parents out either...
Wow! That's quite an impressive gift...
And Planet gets...spare parts...
Planet: Yeah...great. Ok, guys...let's head to bed...
Moat: Aww, can't we open the rest of the presents now?
Planet: No...not until the morning...
Moat: Come on, Harbor...it's present time!
Guys, it's 3 in the morning...
Harbor: You said it! It's morning! Let's go!
Harbor: Is it time yet?
Jessie: Ok, ok...everybody ready, set...open!
What'd you get?
Ocean: New llama toy!
Moat: Happy Winterfest, Gemini...
Gemini: Happy Winterfest, Moat...what did Father Winter bring you?
Moat: A big bear...but my Dad got old junk!
Gemini: Maybe he was bad...
Jessie: This was fun! We should do this every year!
Well, it's a holiday...that's kind of the point...
Wait, who's birthday is it now?
Jessie: Planet's and Ocean's.
Man, this is quite the eventful week around here...
At least Harbor's still in the holiday spirit...
Happy birthday, dear Planet...
...and Ocean...
And it looks like that gift from Father Winter will come in handy.
It also looks like you need a trip to the closet...
Much better....and it looks like it's time for me to be on my way. You keep practicing, and I'll see you guys next round!
A Message From the Mysterious Voice: Ok, WinterFest might be the most adorable thing ever! You may have noticed I split it into two holidays, which ended up working pretty well. Father Winter actually gave them some pretty good gifts...aside from Planet, of course. And watching them decorate the tree was so cute!
