Santa Babies

 Well, hello, Santa, we're having a baby!

 Little Aiden, my halfway baby, became a toddler, and he is just as cute as I thought he would be!

Aiden as a toddler.  He has the Angelic trait.  He's got his dad's features but a mysterious blue eye colour (Beau's are brown whilst mine are green).

 Playing with Claus.

 Due to the sadness going around, Aiden always asks for comfort.  Here his is asking Darby.

 And then both looking this way.  Look at Aiden's little cheeky look.

 Excuse me elderly Harry!

Well, look what I stumbled across at the spice festival, something I had been trying to grow for years - the cowplant berry!

 The moment Declan and Otis became BFFs!

I guess these two are comfortable enough to do this now that they are ENGAGED!

Aiden looking precious in his formalwear.

Declan sets the table - we are having this wedding at home!

 Sweethearts!

 The cake table makes an appearance for the first time in YEARS (it has been in the inventory since forever.  In the previous house (same lot) we used to use it for every cake)!

 Husband and wife!  Esme and Benjamín are married!

Hugs from Beckett.

 The groom hangs with his new brothers-in-law.  LtoR: Benjamín, Claus, Beckett and Darby.  Also, who knew Beckett was so buff?  I don't think he was when he lived at home!

 The wedding happened to be held on New Years Eve so everyone was gathered around for the countdown.  Esme, Zoe, Harry, Beckett, Benjamín, Elliot

 Countdown time!

 Esme's resolution was to lose weight so she hit the gym and completed the resolution almost straight away!

 And then Darby...

and Esme both moved out (with Benjamín of course).

 Soon after mama went into labour.

 I don't know if I've given birth in the courtyard before.

 It's a girl!

 Wait a minute.  It's a girl... AND TWO BOYS!  Triplets!  Finally!  It took 40 pregnancies, but I finally have triplets!  The first babies in the second half, Babies 51, 52 and 53, are triplets!  I tried so hard to have triplets in the first 50 babies only to get them straight away after the 50th.
We have Holly Joy, Louis Calvin and Finley Noel, all with rhyming Christmas-themed names to honour their paternity in ole Father Winter, Herbert Alfaro.  I like how their skin tones are kind of a gradient, lighter to darker.

Declan didn't seem too happy about getting three new siblings.
