History Repeating Itself

 Looks like Amelia is going through a bear phase!

 I make it a tradition to go to GeekCon.  This time I took all of my children who had moved out.  We have: Declan, Otis, Holly, Louis, Claus (front), Finley (back), me and Aiden.

 I usually participate in the Hackathon and have won many computers through this, but this time I tried the UGT.

 When a global celebrity works on the rocket with you. 

 Smiley Aiden.

 Being cool as a cucumber opposite Judith Ward.

 Finley, however, got a little excited.

 This stylish pup showed up at the karaoke bar.

 Otis having his hand sniffed by this doggo.

 I did my best.

Piper beaming at Ralph.  What a charmer.

 Maisie gives her nephew Benny the filthiest look!  He is Otis' son.

 On a family outing, Maisie plays chess with a random lady.

 Piper enjoys the ball pit.

 Amelia and Ralph hang out on the swings.

 Iris has a little cry on top of the playground.

 Amelia is chuffed to have her celebrity crush, Orange Bailey-Moon, swing next to her!

 Piper working on her imagination skill.

 Amelia: "Mum, please stop!  You're embarrassing me!"

I just wanted a picture of young Orange.

Despite the cold, Maisie takes to the slip and slide.

 Me: "Piper you stink!"

 Pretty Maisie.

 Iris and Piper's elderly dad Jarod is here.

Iris chatting with her dad.

 Old man Claus (Baby 47) takes a mouthful.

 Oh hey, Holly (Baby 51)!

 Finley (Baby 53) doesn't look too good.

 Ralph and his dad, Harris.

 Good girl Amelia is always tidying up.  Those Neat sims...

 Piper gazes at a picture of big brother Elliot!

 Amelia lounging in the kiddie pool.

 Claus and Otis greet each other.

 Check out Holly's abs!  

 She poses for me.

 As does her fellow triplet, Louis!

 I don't know what I was seeing here to make me do this face!

 Little Iris, showing her sweet side.

 Piper runs around.

 I think it's time to become pregnant again and ruin this body.

 Iris' regular side.

 Well, hello, next father!  This is Ryan Lester, another footballer who lives with Amelia and Ralph's dad Harris.

 Speak of the devils, it's their birthday.  Go Amelia!

 Nice hat, love.

 Go Ralphie!

 Ralph is a teen!

 I had just reached physical perfection that day, completing the Bodybuilder aspiration!

 At the same time, my nephew Benny became a teen too.

Two of my daughters-in-law, Pari and Kaydence: Aiden's and Finley's partners, respectively.

 Iris and Piper!

 Looking so cute in their party outfits.  Iris is being crazy!

 Baby 55, Amelia, as a teen.  She gained the Foodie trait and has the Super Parent aspiration.  I think she has a mixture of mine and Harris' features.  

 Baby 56, Ralph, as a teen.  He has the Romantic trait and Soulmate aspiration.  I think he looks like Harris but also a lot like my older sons.  Both twins are a good mix of both parents, yet they don't look alike!

 Snagging a kiss with Ryan.

 Piper is sad, stinky and pudgy!

Me: "Oooh yeah, Iris, you're going to be a big sister!"

 And then poor Iris and Piper aged up!  Here is Iris as a child.  She gained the Happy Toddler and Self-Assured traits.  She has the Social Butterfly aspiration. 

And here is Piper!  She reminds me of Esme as a child.  Piper gained the Dog Lover trait and has the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration.

 When your lemon meringue pie is to die for. 

 So we threw a party for Maisie and made a cake and this is how she decides to age up?!

Baby 54, Maisie Eden, as a young adult!  She gained the Genius and Good Manners traits.

 Moi, of course. 

 When you've just gone into labour and your sweet boy Aiden (who just wrote a post about me!) watches on lovingly.

 Amelia looks like me here.

 Aiden and Maisie.

 The birthday girl!

 Piper is amazed at my cake.

 When you're casually giving birth and your children/grandchildren/daughters-in-law don't give a shit.

 Oh, except Finley, who came over to have a conversation with me.

 He was not phased when his little sister popped out!  Baby 59 is Sophie Isabel!

 Iris meeting little Bronte.  YES.  You read correctly.  Baby 60 is Bronte Annabel - twin girls!  Three sets of twins in a row, two of them being twin girls!  This has only happened once before, with Babies 23-28, Georgia/Jade, Hazel/Harlow and Benjamin/Genevieve.  This time with Babies 55-60 we have Amelia/Ralph, Iris/Piper and Sophie/Bronte, the only difference being the boy/girl set of twins being before the two sets of girls.  If Sophie and Bronte turn out to be fraternal, it will be even more similar!

Ah, the aforementioned twins, Iris and Piper, are in perfect synchronisation with opposite handedness!  Iris appears to be left-handed whilst Piper appears to be right-handed.  These twins could not be more different!
