The Sunshine Family originally came with Steve (dad), Steffie (mom) and Baby Sweets. Grandma and Grandpa Sunshine were also sold separately from the "main" family. In the last year they were produced, 1978, a new version was released where Baby Sweets had "Grown Up" to be a little girl doll and she now had a little brother (same mold as before).  Click on the photo to see full sized.   Information was provided by Elizabmo.  Thanks for sharing!

The Happy Family were the black African American friends of the Sunshine Family using the same doll molds. Just like the Sunshine Family, they originally came with dad (Hal), mom (Hattie), and Baby Hon. The Happy grandparents were also sold separately. Also like the Sunshine Family, Baby Hon grew up to be a little girl and got a new baby sibling in 1978. The little girl versions of Sweets and especially Hon are probably the hardest to find of the Sunshine Family line because they were only produced for about a year.
