The Greatest Family Ever - Winner ANNOUNCED!!!
This contest belongs in Other.
Every neighborhood has one. That family. They're genuinely friendly, outgoing, and all-around great. They have the best cookouts, the most friends, even the cutest pets, and everyone wants to be near them. The greatest family ever is not necessarily the biggest family, or the perfect nuclear family, or the one with the spotless house and gorgeous garden. But there is something about them.
In this contest, you will enter a family consisting of at least one adult and at least one child. This family is considered the coolest around by everyone, but it's up to you to figure out why. Keep in mind that even the greatest family ever is not perfect. Throughout this contest, you will explore its best aspects and its flaws. To win, you must prove that it's truly the greatest family ever.
NOTE: I know it's back-to-school time, and everyone is busy with RL responsibilities, but please note that every round will encompass a weekend. That should help if you're worried about having enough time to participate.
Rules and Guidelines
1. Follow all S2C contest guidelines. This includes sim-stealing, which in turn includes sim-tweaking.
2. You must enter a family. This means at least one parent and at least one offspring of any race/species.
3. Parents do not have to be biological or even “legal” parents, but they must be parent figures and must be adults. Offspring must be infants, toddlers, children, or teens. All gender configurations are fine, but one child (at least) must be old enough to attend school. Pets are allowed.
4. Photoshopping is permitted provided it is minimal and tasteful, but mad Photoshop skillz are not required.
Scoring, Elimination, Etc.
Contestants with the lowest round scores will be eliminated each round except the application round. Failure to submit an entry for any round prior to its deadline is also grounds for elimination, but you knew that.
You mainly will be judged on creativity/originality, storyline, and how well you portray your family's greatness. You will NOT be judged on beauty or Photoshopping in any of the rounds. At some point, there will be at least one optional bonus task, which can add up to five points to your round score if completed.

Uuuuuugh fine I'll apply first. I'm new to this so if I do something wrong tell me and I'll fix it.
Name - Darien LaRue
Age - 20
Kindhearted Darien enjoys cooking; he's vegan despite being a vampire, and knows lots of innovative recipes to make the soy product taste like the real thing.
Name - Heather LaRue
Age - 26
Sultry vampiress Heather enjoys collecting guns, burlesque dancing, and lightheartedly teasing Darien for his innocence and naivete.
Name - Hayley LaRue
Age - 7
Adopted child Hayley loves Hello Kitty more than anything else in the world, but secretly wishes her pacifist father would allow her to play with toy guns.
Opposites often attract, but do they stay together? Darien the shy, innocent and slightly hippie-ish pacifist and Heather the trigger-happy sultry stripper are determined to prove that they do, not to mention that they manage juggling blood-drinking with child-rearing after adopting their daughter Hayley. Therefore the LaRues are the greatest family ever.

Apps look great, guys!
goddessmoon, I had in mind free shots that showed the family's everyday life, rather than what happened the day they tried to take the posed shot, but your pictures are too funny.
You can go ahead and leave them, as apps aren't going to be scored.

Definitely not too late to apply. I'd love to have you, and anyone else who's thinking about it.
I'm going to go ahead and post Round 1 tonight so we stay on schedule, but apps will stay open until we have enough.
