There have been some huge developments in our neighbourhoods lately, and since Lauren and I have been on a little impromptu vacation (our computer was giving us some trouble *sniff*) for the past week or so, we just now saw all the changes! And a giant thanks to all my lovely neighbours who sent me notes updating me on these new features

The first thing we noticed was the Cafe… the construction is over! Its open! Woooo hoo! I know that so many of us fans were waiting anxiously for it to open and the day has finally arrived

You can choose to be a member of the Cafe Club or not when you show up, and the clerk is really helpful in explaining what its all about. Basically, if you are a member your pet will sometimes walk down to the Cafe on his or her own and meet other pets! Its a great way to expand your neighbourhood, because you have the option to visit that pet’s owner’s profile page on Facebook and add them right away.
There are some new items in Mystery Boxes too! I visited one of my well-to-do friends this morning, and she had so many rare items that you can’t ever find in shops! Check it out:

And last but not least, the bath tub is working now. I don’t know if its because someone came over and fixed it while Lauren and I were away, but its so lovely! I took a nice hot bath right when I woke up

As a little note, the voting for the screenshot contest will end shortly after the holidays, around January 4th. And I will be announcing the next contest in a day or two, so sorry for the delay everyone!
