We’re over in Windenburg this morning for the day we’ve all been waiting for – it’s Mateo and Hope’s wedding day!
Hope is up early and prepares breakfast for them both
As the sit to eat, they are both full of excitement for the day ahead
A little flirting goes on over frittatas as the two enjoy their last meal together before becoming husband and wife
Then, it’s time for Hope to head off
An “I’ll see you at the wedding” peck is given
But that isn’t enough for Mateo as he pulls his bride in for a real kiss, not wanting to wait until the wedding
Then it’s really time to head off, as Hope makes her way to Josette’s new house and gets a quick tour
Before being offered a glass of wine and sitting down to relax before the fun starts
Leia arrives son after and is greeted happily by her sister
Then the three sit down together, as Hope tells them a little more about the wedding venue and expresses her excitement that she’s marrying Mateo today
With no time left to lose, Leia and Jo get dressed in their dresses and after getting their hair and make up down, they are ready for the wedding!
Hope chose the mermaid dresses for the sisters, and I think they look great!
Hope tells them how great they look
And thanks them again for being her bridesmaids. After a little gushing about her new family, it’s time for Hope to get ready…
She has a new tattoo as well, that she decided to get as she could show it off in the dress she chose – the sleek button back dress! Her new sisters think she looks amazing, and before long it’s time to head to the venue!
Hope and Mateo are getting married in a rustic barn venue in Newcrest, designed by Tamitou – it’s the perfect venue for the couple, who both love the outdoors and suit the rustic vibe
The venue has been decked out with a dance floor, piano, buffet tables and sheeted tables around the dance floor. The flowers of choice are sunflowers, really fitting in with the rustic theme
Inside the barn, a beautiful wedding arch and seating has been set up, as well as a petal strewn aisle lit by candles
Before long it’s time for Hope to walk down the aisle
Finally showcasing her full look – her fitted dress with a little design on the waist, an up do finished with a diamond tiara, and earrings that hang to really finish the look
At the aisle, Mateo greets his bride lovingly, staring deeply into her eyes
Rings are exchanged…
Kisses too…
And before long the couple are officially pronounced husband and wife! congratulations!
The party gets started as the couple cut the cake, resulting in this beautiful interaction that I will never not love!
Then the buffet set out. There’s a cupcake table, a pie table, and a fish-based appetiser table – even the food sums this couple up!
The couple sit at the head table, looking out over their family and friends and enjoying some food, listening to speeches and watching as the party gets going
After sampling most of what their buffet has to offer, Hope is officially welcomed into the Armstrong family by her sister-in-laws
Congratulated on a beautiful wedding and complimented on her choice of venue and gown
Then it’s time for the first dance. Mateo pulls his new wife in close and the two share a dance, before being joined by other couples
And then, with the romantic dances over, the party gets started! There’s lots of dancing…
Drinking…
And congratulations…
Before the couple sneak away from their party, sharing a passionate kiss behind the barn
And heading off, just as a light rain begins over the town, to their honeymoon…
Arriving a little later at their honeymoon cabin in Granite Falls, Mateo shares a romantic moment with his new wife, before carrying her over the threshold…
And right into the bedroom!
After a few wedding night celebrations, the newlywed couple head to sleep, preparing for a few days of rest, relaxation and romance in the forest.
And that’s all for this episode! What will happen next? Will Leia and Harry get back to their discussion about having another baby? Will the newlyweds be the next to welcome a mini Benali Armstrong into the family? What else will happen?
Hey guys! So, instead of following Hope and Mateo on their honeymoon, I will be returning to San Myshuno to catch up with Leia and Josette, both of whom have some big talks ahead of them…
So instead, I’ve decided to share with you some key snapshots of the honeymooners, and recap what they spent the next few days doing…
Mateo enjoyed some time fishing in the nearby stream
While hope enjoyed relaxing bubble baths in their rustic tub
They played horseshoes…
A LOT of horseshoes… Turns out Mateo has a knack!
They went on romantic hikes…
And enjoyed evenings by the fire…
As well as other honeymoon activities that we’ll keep just between the couple!
hope you enjoyed this montage of the honeymoon of Mr and Mrs. Benali Armstrong and stay tuned as we return to our regularly scheduled programming.
Welcome back to San Myshuno! It’s a lazy Sunday for the Muse household as they begin their morning with a family breakfast
Then, Leia decides to teach her son with some flashcards
While Harry cleans up from the messy events of breakfast
Then, he gets on with filling out some reports for work
In the living room, Armstrong is playing with some toys while Leia checks up on the vet clinic
It’s a beautiful day outside, so Leia decides to take Armstrong out for a walk does anyone else wish we had strollers or ‘hold hands’ for features like this?! *sigh*
They start by watching a busker playing guitar, which Armstrong thoroughly enjoys
Then he gets distracted by a nearby stand selling wood carvings – Leia decides to buy him one, and he chooses a wooden horse
which he adds to his bookshelf later
While Leia decides to buy some fresh produce, Armstrong spots his Aunt through the crowd
She heads over and greets her excited nephew and her sister, and says that she was spending the morning at the museum for inspiration for a new piece she’s working on
They chat for a while before Josette has to head home
And Leia takes Armstrong home too, as it’s time for dinner
Which Harry has prepared
The family sit down and enjoy their dinner, and Armstrong tells his Dad all about his day
But it certainly tired him out, and it’s straight to bed after dinner for the tired toddler
With Armstrong in bed, Leia decides to open a bottle of wine and sit down with Harry to continue their talk
They unpin their previous discussion about having another baby, and weigh out the pros and cons.
They’re getting married soon, and Leia doesn’t want to be pregnant during her wedding, but if she times it right she can get married after the baby is born
Fuelled with wine and excited at the prospect of another baby, the couple decides to try
Right now
And so, they head straight to the bedroom to begin trying for a baby – it can be a long process, so no time like the present to get started!
And that’s all for this episode! What will happen next? Will Leia get pregnant? How was Mateo and Hope’s honeymoon? And what else will happen?
We’re nearing part 100! Wow! I can’t wait to share with you the special episode I’ve prepared!
And now, on with the episode…
Leia begins her morning giving Armstrong a bubble bath, which he had lots of fun splashing about in!
Then the family sit together and eat breakfast
Leia tells Harry that Hope, Mateo and Josette are coming over for lunch to talk about the honeymoon and spend some family time
Armstrong interrupts the conversation, however, by playing up and throwing his food on the floor.
Leia gives him a talking to and takes him to his room for a time out
And Harry cleans up the mess
Leia can’t stay mad at her son for long, though, so she soon lets him out of his time out
Harry comes in to say goodbye to his fiancé and son
And then heads out to work
While in Armstrong’s room, Leia is teaching him to say sorry, please and thank you, in hopes of avoiding future meltdowns over breakfast
Then Armstrong sits down to look at some books, already feeling more able to control his emotions
Leia takes the chance to get some housework done before her siblings come over for lunch
She’s serving caprese salad, so she prepares it in advance and puts in the fridge for later
Then she sets the table, wanting to make sure everything looks nice for the honeymooners return
Armstrong is definitely living his best self at the moment! He’s quietly playing in his room
Mateo and his wife soon arrive
Followed by Josette
And the newlyweds tell their family about the honeymoon – they had tonnes of fun and are enjoying married life
Mateo then catches up with his nephew, who excitedly shows his uncle one of his new toys
Outside, Hope is breaking some exciting news to Leia and Jo – SHE’S PREGNANT!
Leia congratulates her sister-in-law and is excited to welcome another baby into the family
Then it’s time for lunch, so the family sit down to enjoy their salads
The sisters discuss Jo’s new house and painting collections
side note. I love how cute these sims look with their little baby bumps!
After lunch, Josette volunteers to throw a baby shower / gender reveal for her sister in law, and she happily accepts
As the sun begins to go down outside, Leia calls a nanny to look after Armstrong so that they can go out
She bids her son a cute goodbye and tells him to be good for the nanny
And then they all head out to the city square, where the humour and hijinks festival is happening!
The group join the jokesters side by drinking from the fountain
While back at the apartment, Armstrong is having a blast with his nanny!
The gang are engaging in all sorts of humour and hijinks acts, with Harry presenting Josette with a gag gift
Which she isn’t impressed with!
While Leia and Hope are joking around at a nearby table
The siblings all grab their favourite childhood drink – rootbeer floats – and enjoy them as they continue joking around
Then Mateo, Josette, Harry and Moses decide to try the bubble blower
But Hope and Leia skip out on the activity, with Hope being pregnant and Leia trying for a baby (no baby yet, as we took a test earlier!) they decide to stay and keep joking around with some fellow jokesters
After having fun with the bubbles, Josette and Moses order some food
And Leia buys some swag – some bubbles and a snow globe for her son
She also bumps into Chantel, her veterinary assistant, and the two chat for a while
While over at the tables, the guys are enjoying some food
As the night wears on, the festival comes to a close – the jokesters win, and everyone wins $500 and some fireworks! Hooray!
The family stay to watch the fireworks
Before heading home
Back at the Muse apartment, Harry gives the nanny a tip for staying so late
While Leia heads in to check on her son, who is sleeping soundly
Still full of the excitement and fun of the festival, Leia and Harry share a kiss
Before heading into the bedroom, trying again for another baby…
And that’s all for today’s episode! What will happen next? Is Hope having a boy or a girl? Will Leia get pregnant? And what else will happen?
She sets up a cupcake table, knowing cupcakes are Hope’s favourite
Then, having finished setting up, she heads downstairs to have a quick breakfast with her boyfriend
Before he has to head off to work
A little more prep and a change of clothes later, and the baby shower is a-go!
Josette feels her niece/nephew kicking
And then mixes up some (non-alcoholic) drinks for everyone
And the women sit together to talk and enjoy their drinks
We have Meredith Goth, Rita Delgato, Winter Holiday… all our favourites return for a celebration!
Josette asks Hope what she’s hoping for, and Hope says she really doesn’t mind, but Mateo is hoping for a girl
Josette presents Hope with some gifts from everyone
She gets some toys, teddies, baby clothes and pampering products for the mum-to-be
[img]https://i.imgur.com/7ZZZANH.png[/img
It’s not too long before Hope wants to attack the cupcake table, so everyone fills their boots with different types of cupcakes![/img]
Yum!
Then, Josette calls everyone over to watch as Hope opens her balloon reveal box
And she reveals that she’s expecting…
A GIRL!
Everyone is so excited to be welcoming a baby girl into the family, especially Hope, who knows her husband was hoping for a daughter!
Hope thanks Jo for throwing her a wonderful baby shower as she helps her tidy up
Then downstairs she chats with Leia about the baby and hopes that she gets pregnant soon too, so the little cousins can be around the same age!
Hope bids her friends and family goodbye
And then we head home to Windenburg with her
Where she reveals to her husband that she is indeed expecting a baby girl!
He’s thrilled!
He kisses his wife happily and expresses just how happy he is
Then, the couple heads to bed, needing their rest before becoming parents!
And that’s all for today! What will happen next? What will Hope and Mateo name their daughter? Will Leia get pregnant? And how will Armstrong’s birthday go, tomorrow?
Welcome back! We return to the Muse household in San Myshuno, where Leia arrived home after the baby shower feeling unwell
She’s quick off the mark to take a pregnancy test, hoping that her sickness is pregnancy related
And it is!
Leia is pregnant!
She rushes out to tell Harry, and the two are thrilled!
He pulls her in for a kiss and the two head to bed, excited that they’re pregnant again!
As morning dawns over the city, Leia is still full of joy at her recent discovery, as well as full of anticipation for today – it’s Armstrong’s birthday (already!) and so she’s making a nice breakfast to start the day off right
The family sit together, and Leia tells her son that he’s going to be a big brother! He’s so excited!
Then, tells him all about his birthday party – it’s Halloween today too, and so they’re having a costume party to celebrate his birthday!
After breakfast Leia gets started on the housework
And baking a birthday cake for Armstrong
While Harry takes the excited toddler in to his room to calm down and get ready for the day ahead
And as he gives him a bath
Leia gets cracking on the decorations
Halloween themed, of course! We have yellow and orange balloons, cute ghost decals on the walls
And of course, a big pile of presents!
Then it’s back to the kitchen to prepare some food for the guests. She starts by making some bagels and an apple pie
Back in his room, Armstrong is listening to a story from Harry
And with the last of the decorations up, Leia gets into her costume (lucky it still fits, huh Leia?)
Harry is dressed up as a villain, and Armstrong is wearing a cute monster costume!
The last of the snacks are prepped and set out
And the party begins! Hope and Mateo are the first to arrive
The very pregnant Hope is sporting a pirate look
While Uncle Mateo has certainly committed to the fancy dress in a full clown outfit!
When Josette arrives, Leia breaks the news to her family that she and Harry are having a baby, and of course everyone is excited for them!
With the greetings and big news out of the way, it’s on with the party!
The birthday boy is quick to request some play time with his Auntie Jo
And then Leia entertains everyone with a story or two
Before it’s time to blow out the candles! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARMSTRONG!
The newly aged up Armstrong is wished a happy birthday by his family
And presented with a few gifts, including a game cube, science set, new books and toys!
While Leia greets some trick or treaters outside
Armstrong sneaks into his room to play with his game cube
In his new room!
After a little more time dancing and talking, the rest of the family has to head home, and Armstrong is left on the couch with his Mother to talk
She talks to him again about her pregnancy and asks how he feels. He’s super excited and is hoping for a little brother!
Leia and Armstrong share a sweet mother/son moment
After a quick snack to fill themselves up
It’s time for bed for Armstrong – it’s his first day of school tomorrow, so he needs his rest!
And with their son in bed and a great birthday party behind them, Leia and Harry share some time in front of the fire place, finally able to stop and appreciate the true joy that they’re having another baby
And with that, it’s time too for the parents to head to bed
And that’s all for this episode! What will happen next? Will Hope give birth? Is Leia having another boy, or will this baby be a girl? What else could possibly happen?!
HEY GUYS! I'm currently writing up EPISODE 100! Once I've written that up, I'm going to get the rest of the episodes posted to my external blog ready for episode 100 to premier there at the same time! I can't wait to share with you all this extra special part!!
Drawing ever closer to our special part 100, and I can reveal that part 100 will actually fall on Christmas, and so we will have a super special Christmas episode up for that!!
But for now we must return to our current timeline and day 95 in the life of the Armstrong family!
Leia starts the day by making pancakes – the most important meal ever eaten in an Armstrong household!
And of course, it IS an important day today, as it’s Armstrong’s first day of school! Generation 3 is officially in education!
Armstrong hops in the bath after enjoying his pancakes, getting ready for the day ahead
And after a sweet kiss from his Mum and a “you’ll be fine” pep talk from Dad…
It’s time for Armstrong to head off to his first day of grade school!
With her son off to school for the day, Leia gets ready for her doctors appointment – she and Harry will get their scan today, and find out the sex of their baby!
With no time to lose it’s off to the doctors for this happy couple!
A couple of hours later they return home with a sealed envelope containing the scan and the gender. They decide to wait for Armstrong to get home before the big reveal!
They discuss a plan for how they’ll do the reveal over a lunch of bagels and once they’ve decided, they get the plan in motion
While Leia heads into her room for a nap – it’s tiring work, being pregnant!
Harry gets some chores done while his fiancé rests
And then decides to head into the square, where he comes across a table selling crystals – notably, a very pretty and rare orange crystal called Jonquilyst
He decides his bride-to-be would love the ‘drop of sunshine’ crystal and so decides to buy it for her
Back at home he finds her well rested from her nap and presents her with his finding
She loves it! She puts it pride of place on the dresser and thanks her fiancé for the thoughtful gift
Armstrong returns home from school at 3pm and seems content with how his first day went
His mother breaks out the apple pie
And sets it down in front of him, telling him to take a big slice and tell her all about his day
The family sit down together and enjoy the pie, as Armstrong tells them about his day
He made some friends and is enjoying his classes
Hooray!
After pie, Leia and Harry bring their son into the empty soon-to-be nursery and present him with a big box
Inside there’s a teddy bear, either pink or blue, that will reveal the sex of the baby
Excited to find out if he’s getting a brother or a sister, Armstrong pulls open the box to reveal…
A PINK TEDDY BEAR!
That’s right! Leia is having a girl! And Armstrong seems thrilled!
Harry asks him how he feels, because he originally said he wanted a little brother
But Armstrong is beyond thrilled and can’t wait to meet his baby sister!
He even shares a sweet moment with his mother feeling his little sister kick
The excitement of the reveal as well as his first day of school has exhausted little Armstrong, though, and he’s shortly after tucked in to bed, heart weightless with excitement!
In the living room Leia and Harry are sat talking about their baby girl when Leia gets a phone call
Hope has had her daughter!
She heads quickly over to the Armstrong family home to meet her niece
And also reveals the news that she, too, is expecting a baby girl to the couple, who are thrilled that their daughter will have a built in best friend in her little cousin (does this remind anyone else of when Liberty and Kate were pregnant together?! Memories!
Leia is taken into the nursery and introduced to her niece
Katherine Benali Armstrong
Named after her grandmother, Kate
While Leia spends some time with her niece, Mateo and Hope are outside chatting happily about their future niece
But the night is rolling in and Leia must head home, so she bids goodbye to the little family and braves the rain as she heads back to San Myshuno
Where she climbs into the warmth of her bed and falls sound asleep, excited as her due date rolls closer
And that’s all for this episode! What will happen next? What will Leia and Harry decide to name their daughter? And will she one day become best friends with Katherine? What’s going on with Josette, we haven’t seen her in a while?
Welcome back and Happy Thanksgiving!
That’s right, it’s Harvestfest here in San Myshuno and a big family meal is already in the works!
Hope is making the starter, a butternut squash soup
Josette, our host for this years festivities, is making the ham!
anyone for pizza?
OK, OK, no more fire jokes! Sorry Leia!
And Leia is making a winter cake
It’s Mateo’s birthday today too, so we are in need of a cake that serves both celebrations and looks like we found one!
So, after a change of clothes
It’s time to head over to Josette’s house, where
the family greet each other happily
And Josette finds out the news about the sex of Leia’s baby and is very excited!
Harry volunteers to sort out the drinks
And the family sit around drinking, eating appetizers and chatting about thanksgivings of the past
A little later it’s time for lunch! The meal begins with butternut squash soup and goes down very well!
After a little time and some musical chairs (why can’t these sims just stay where I put them?!) the ham dinner is served
Leia calls everyone back to the table
And they enjoy the dinner, which was cooked to perfection! Well done Josette!
The family continue talking over their dinner, complimenting Josette on her cooking and telling stories, mainly about the kids – turns out baby Katherine is a really easy baby who hardly ever cries! Lucky them!
Before serving the dessert, Leia has a craving for rootbeer floats and so she makes a few!
These look so good I want 10
They all enjoy their drinks while Josette gives Mateo the tour of her house
Then it’s time for cake! Leia adds the candles and then calls everyone over
As the family sing happy birthday, Mateo blows out the candles and ages up!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATEO!
The festivities continue with fun and games until it’s interrupted by Leia, who is in labour! what is it with this girl going into labour at family events?!
Harry is excited and much less stressed out this time as he gets everything ready and the family head home
Let’s go have a baby!
Finally back at the apartment Leia heads into the nursery to give birth!
And here she is! Leia and Harry have a daughter!
The couple think about a name for a while before drawing their inspiration from the crystal that Harry bought for his pregnant fiancé – it was a ‘ray of sunshine’ crystal, and that lead to her name…
Ladies and gentleman, I’m delighted to introduce Soleil Muse!
Armstrong is introduced to his baby sister and thinks she’s amazing – he can’t wait to play with her!
And with that, three become four and their little family is complete!
And that’s all for this episode! Sorry it was a little rushed – turns out having a family dinner of 7 while only being able to control 3 is pretty difficult and so taking screenshots wasn’t easy!
What will happen next? Will Soleil be an easy baby? Will Leia pick out her wedding dress before her wedding on Sunday? What else will happen?!

We return to an interesting and fun filled episode today – so let’s get on with it!
We are with Josette this morning for an exciting day for her – she’s today meeting her biological brother!
That’s right! Jolene, her biological mother, recently had a baby boy, and she’s going to meet him today!
It’s a big day, so she whips up a big breakfast to get her set up
And as she sits with Moses to enjoy the food, he asks her if she’s excited to meet her brother today
Of course, she is, and she’s also excited to see Jolene again!
So, while his girlfriend gets ready to go, Moses does the washing up
And with a change of clothes
And a peck for her boyfriend
It’s off to Jolene’s new house…
Where the two greet each other happily
And Jolene excitedly updates Josette on her life – her marriage to a man called Alex, her son, her new home… It’s all very exciting!
And then it’s time to introduce the two!
Josette, meet your baby brother Alex Junior!
AJ takes immediately to Josette and the two share a sweet moment
Josette gets to know Alex and learns how the two met. He’s thrilled to finally meet her!
And Jolene is clearly taking to motherhood well – it’s so nice to see!
Out on the porch, the two catch up. Josette tells Jolene about her house, the weddings and babies that have entered the families… It’s been a year of change for the Benali Armstrong’s all right!
Jolene is thrilled to hear how happy Josette is. She says that it reassures her she made the right decision giving her up for adoption all those years ago
But she’s still so glad to spend time with her daughter when the time allows – she asks if they can take some photos for them both to keep
Of course, our photogenic Josette is quick off the mark and takes a photo of the two
The resemblance is uncanny!
Jolene then takes a photo of her children together – again, the resemblance is insane! Those are some strong Timothy genes!
But the visit is soon over as Josette has other things to do today, so she bids Jolene, Alex and AJ goodbye
And heads off
To San Myshuno, where she greets her sister happily
And her nephew, of course
The sisters are heading off to do some cake tasting and wedding finalising – but before that, Josette takes a few minutes to see her new niece!
Then it’s time to head off – Leia bids her children goodbye
And they arrive at the Van Haunt estate for a classy afternoon tea…
And the three (oh, yeah, Hope came too!) dive onto the many cupcakes, tasting flavour after flavour…
Even trying a few of each
You know, just to be sure of the flavours!
After stuffing themselves with coffee and cake, Leia takes them out to the gardens to enjoy the view
They check out the beautiful landscape
But as the sun sets, it’s time to head home. Leia bids her sisters goodbye
And heads home to see her daughter – it may seem like she was born just yesterday (and yes, she was), but she’s aging up tonight – otherwise, she’d age up tomorrow and with the wedding too, it made sense to age her up a little early!
Leia is so excited to be marrying Harry tomorrow, so heads off to find him and tell him so
Then, after spending a little time with her son
It’s time for the family to watch on as baby Soleil becomes a toddler
And with that, we have a toddler! And she looks just like her mother! These Benali-Armstrong genes are strong too!
Harry reads his daughter to sleep
And then the rest of the family follow soon after – it’ll be a busy day tomorrow, and the couple will finally be married! They can’t wait!
And that’s all! What will happen next? What will the wedding be like? The dress? The cake?! What else will happen as we near our special episode 100?
It’s the morning of Leia Benali Armstrong’s wedding and the excitement can be felt throughout the town as she and her siblings all excitedly prepare for the day ahead.
In San Myshuno, the bride is preparing an Armstrong tradition – pancakes before a big day!
The family of four sit down to eat together, all excited for what today will bring
Armstrong talks to his sister about the wedding, and she’s super excited to get to wear a pretty dress!
There’s a lot still to prepare so Harry heads into the bedroom to get ready in his wedding suit
And the best man, Armstrong, is ready too
After saying goodbye to the girls, Harry and his son head off to the venue for final preparations
Leaving Leia and her daughter to get ready for the big day
Reinforcements soon arrive in the form of bridesmaids Josette and Hope
And after some happy greetings and hugs are exchanged
Leia breaks out the wine
And the girls sit to enjoy a glass as they slowly begin getting ready
But before long it’s time for the main event, and Leia tells her bridesmaids to get their dresses on
And they look beautiful! Leia has gone with a red theme for the wedding and these dresses suit both girls perfectly
They even have gorgeous red flowers in their hair, adding to the look!
Leia tells her bridesmaids how beautiful they look
Before getting into her own dress!
One final change as Soleil is put into her flower girl dress
And it’s off to the venue! this venue was found in the gallery, and was built by litschisaftkind – thanks!
Inside the venue the music begins, and the guests stand as Leia enters
And as she walks down the aisle, looking beautiful in her wedding dress
Harry can’t believe his luck!
Romantic vows are exchanged
And then the rings!
And before long, Leia and Harry are officially husband and wife!
CONGRATULATIONS MR AND MRS MUSE!
The couple begin their life as husband and wife by cutting their wedding cake
Sharing a slice
And then, the DJ announces them as they meet on the floor for their first dance
So romantic!
After watching the newlyweds dance, family and friends make their way to the buffet spread for some food
All enjoying the delicious selection!
And discussing the wedding and the night to come
Which can’t come soon enough! After eating all they can, the family head to the dance floor and dance the night away! (by the way – Katherine WAS at the wedding, I just didn’t notice she doesn’t seem to be in any of the photos! I guess she’s shy!)
But, as much fun as they’re all having, it’s soon time to head home. The guests slowly bid the couple goodbye and make their way out of the venue. Before making their way home, though, the couple stop at the fountain nearby. They married in Brindleton Bay, nearby to Leia’s old home – the moment becomes more romantic because of the history as the newlyweds share a tender kiss by the light of the fountain
After an exciting and fun filled day, the family are ready to get some well-deserved rest. Leia tucks her children into bed
And then heads to bed with her husband
And that’s all for this episode! What will happen next? What surprises will Part 100 hold for us? And what will happen tomorrow?
Find out next time on All About The Armstrongs!

It’s Christmas Eve and school and work are closed, so the Armstrong clan decide to have a family day out!
So, they get ready for a day of fun! Armstrong hops into the bath
While Leia preps breakfast
While eating breakfast, Soleil is super excited for the day of fun ahead as her parents tell her all about what they’re going to do
Then, after a quick change of clothes
The family heads off to a family fun centre
I build this pretty quick so I could have somewhere for them to go!
The family meet in the pool and greet each other happily
Leia and Josette share a hug as Jo prepares to share some big news with her sister
SHE’S PREGNANT!
Leia’s so excited for her little sister
And gives her another hug, expressing her excitement to have another niece or nephew!
Then it’s time for the pool! The family jump in to the warm water, which is a great change to the snow falling outside
Armstrong has a tonne of fun, diving into the pool and impressing everyone!
Next door, there’s a kiddie play room, where Soleil and Katherine spend some time bonding and playing
The play room is in a spa, where Leia is having a steam in the sauna
Before deciding to do some yoga by the window to the play room, where she can keep an eye on the girls
Who are playing happily with a dolls house
Meanwhile, Armstrong is still enjoying the pool with his Dad and Uncle Mateo
While Leia joins Hope for some food in the poolside café
But before long it’s time for the families to head home
So, after some hugs goodbye
Leia and the family head back to San Myshuno, where she preps dinner
Armstrong gets his chores done before eating
And Soleil enjoys some book time
Before the family sit down for a Christmas Eve dinner
After dinner, Leia gives Soleil a bubble bath
And reads her kids a Christmas bed time story
Before it’s time to bed!
A big Christmas day ahead of them
And with that, we end our 99th day in the life of the Armstrong family
Tomorrow is Christmas day, and day 100 of our story. What will happen? Will Christmas bring any surprises? And how will we celebrate our 100th episode?

I think that's Josette, not Leia.
You're correct! Thanks for pointing that out! That's what I get for trying to write multiple parts at once!
We’re over in Windenburg this morning for the day we’ve all been waiting for – it’s Mateo and Hope’s wedding day!
Hope is up early and prepares breakfast for them both
As the sit to eat, they are both full of excitement for the day ahead
A little flirting goes on over frittatas as the two enjoy their last meal together before becoming husband and wife
Then, it’s time for Hope to head off
An “I’ll see you at the wedding” peck is given
But that isn’t enough for Mateo as he pulls his bride in for a real kiss, not wanting to wait until the wedding
Then it’s really time to head off, as Hope makes her way to Josette’s new house and gets a quick tour
Before being offered a glass of wine and sitting down to relax before the fun starts
Leia arrives son after and is greeted happily by her sister
Then the three sit down together, as Hope tells them a little more about the wedding venue and expresses her excitement that she’s marrying Mateo today
With no time left to lose, Leia and Jo get dressed in their dresses and after getting their hair and make up down, they are ready for the wedding!
Hope chose the mermaid dresses for the sisters, and I think they look great!
Hope tells them how great they look
And thanks them again for being her bridesmaids. After a little gushing about her new family, it’s time for Hope to get ready…
She has a new tattoo as well, that she decided to get as she could show it off in the dress she chose – the sleek button back dress! Her new sisters think she looks amazing, and before long it’s time to head to the venue!
Hope and Mateo are getting married in a rustic barn venue in Newcrest, designed by Tamitou – it’s the perfect venue for the couple, who both love the outdoors and suit the rustic vibe
The venue has been decked out with a dance floor, piano, buffet tables and sheeted tables around the dance floor. The flowers of choice are sunflowers, really fitting in with the rustic theme
Inside the barn, a beautiful wedding arch and seating has been set up, as well as a petal strewn aisle lit by candles
Before long it’s time for Hope to walk down the aisle
Finally showcasing her full look – her fitted dress with a little design on the waist, an up do finished with a diamond tiara, and earrings that hang to really finish the look
At the aisle, Mateo greets his bride lovingly, staring deeply into her eyes
Rings are exchanged…
Kisses too…
And before long the couple are officially pronounced husband and wife!
congratulations!
The party gets started as the couple cut the cake, resulting in this beautiful interaction that I will never not love!
Then the buffet set out. There’s a cupcake table, a pie table, and a fish-based appetiser table – even the food sums this couple up!
The couple sit at the head table, looking out over their family and friends and enjoying some food, listening to speeches and watching as the party gets going
After sampling most of what their buffet has to offer, Hope is officially welcomed into the Armstrong family by her sister-in-laws
Congratulated on a beautiful wedding and complimented on her choice of venue and gown
Then it’s time for the first dance. Mateo pulls his new wife in close and the two share a dance, before being joined by other couples
And then, with the romantic dances over, the party gets started! There’s lots of dancing…
Drinking…
And congratulations…
Before the couple sneak away from their party, sharing a passionate kiss behind the barn
And heading off, just as a light rain begins over the town, to their honeymoon…
Arriving a little later at their honeymoon cabin in Granite Falls, Mateo shares a romantic moment with his new wife, before carrying her over the threshold…
And right into the bedroom!
After a few wedding night celebrations, the newlywed couple head to sleep, preparing for a few days of rest, relaxation and romance in the forest.
And that’s all for this episode! What will happen next? Will Leia and Harry get back to their discussion about having another baby? Will the newlyweds be the next to welcome a mini Benali Armstrong into the family? What else will happen?
Find out next time on All About The Armstrongs!

Hey guys! So, instead of following Hope and Mateo on their honeymoon, I will be returning to San Myshuno to catch up with Leia and Josette, both of whom have some big talks ahead of them…
So instead, I’ve decided to share with you some key snapshots of the honeymooners, and recap what they spent the next few days doing…
Mateo enjoyed some time fishing in the nearby stream
While hope enjoyed relaxing bubble baths in their rustic tub
They played horseshoes…
A LOT of horseshoes… Turns out Mateo has a knack!
They went on romantic hikes…
And enjoyed evenings by the fire…
As well as other honeymoon activities that we’ll keep just between the couple!
hope you enjoyed this montage of the honeymoon of Mr and Mrs. Benali Armstrong and stay tuned as we return to our regularly scheduled programming.

Welcome back to San Myshuno! It’s a lazy Sunday for the Muse household as they begin their morning with a family breakfast
Then, Leia decides to teach her son with some flashcards
While Harry cleans up from the messy events of breakfast
Then, he gets on with filling out some reports for work
In the living room, Armstrong is playing with some toys while Leia checks up on the vet clinic
It’s a beautiful day outside, so Leia decides to take Armstrong out for a walk
does anyone else wish we had strollers or ‘hold hands’ for features like this?! *sigh*
They start by watching a busker playing guitar, which Armstrong thoroughly enjoys
Then he gets distracted by a nearby stand selling wood carvings – Leia decides to buy him one, and he chooses a wooden horse
which he adds to his bookshelf later
While Leia decides to buy some fresh produce, Armstrong spots his Aunt through the crowd
She heads over and greets her excited nephew and her sister, and says that she was spending the morning at the museum for inspiration for a new piece she’s working on
They chat for a while before Josette has to head home
And Leia takes Armstrong home too, as it’s time for dinner
Which Harry has prepared
The family sit down and enjoy their dinner, and Armstrong tells his Dad all about his day
But it certainly tired him out, and it’s straight to bed after dinner for the tired toddler
With Armstrong in bed, Leia decides to open a bottle of wine and sit down with Harry to continue their talk
They unpin their previous discussion about having another baby, and weigh out the pros and cons.
They’re getting married soon, and Leia doesn’t want to be pregnant during her wedding, but if she times it right she can get married after the baby is born
Fuelled with wine and excited at the prospect of another baby, the couple decides to try
Right now
And so, they head straight to the bedroom to begin trying for a baby – it can be a long process, so no time like the present to get started!
And that’s all for this episode! What will happen next? Will Leia get pregnant? How was Mateo and Hope’s honeymoon? And what else will happen?

Ooh I love it! I'm just going to say that you'll be very pleased with what I have up my sleeve...
We’re nearing part 100! Wow! I can’t wait to share with you the special episode I’ve prepared!
And now, on with the episode…
Leia begins her morning giving Armstrong a bubble bath, which he had lots of fun splashing about in!
Then the family sit together and eat breakfast
Leia tells Harry that Hope, Mateo and Josette are coming over for lunch to talk about the honeymoon and spend some family time
Armstrong interrupts the conversation, however, by playing up and throwing his food on the floor.
Leia gives him a talking to and takes him to his room for a time out
And Harry cleans up the mess
Leia can’t stay mad at her son for long, though, so she soon lets him out of his time out
Harry comes in to say goodbye to his fiancé and son
And then heads out to work
While in Armstrong’s room, Leia is teaching him to say sorry, please and thank you, in hopes of avoiding future meltdowns over breakfast
Then Armstrong sits down to look at some books, already feeling more able to control his emotions
Leia takes the chance to get some housework done before her siblings come over for lunch
She’s serving caprese salad, so she prepares it in advance and puts in the fridge for later
Then she sets the table, wanting to make sure everything looks nice for the honeymooners return
Armstrong is definitely living his best self at the moment! He’s quietly playing in his room
Mateo and his wife soon arrive
Followed by Josette
And the newlyweds tell their family about the honeymoon – they had tonnes of fun and are enjoying married life
Mateo then catches up with his nephew, who excitedly shows his uncle one of his new toys
Outside, Hope is breaking some exciting news to Leia and Jo – SHE’S PREGNANT!
Leia congratulates her sister-in-law and is excited to welcome another baby into the family
Then it’s time for lunch, so the family sit down to enjoy their salads
The sisters discuss Jo’s new house and painting collections
side note. I love how cute these sims look with their little baby bumps!
After lunch, Josette volunteers to throw a baby shower / gender reveal for her sister in law, and she happily accepts
As the sun begins to go down outside, Leia calls a nanny to look after Armstrong so that they can go out
She bids her son a cute goodbye and tells him to be good for the nanny
And then they all head out to the city square, where the humour and hijinks festival is happening!
The group join the jokesters side by drinking from the fountain
While back at the apartment, Armstrong is having a blast with his nanny!
The gang are engaging in all sorts of humour and hijinks acts, with Harry presenting Josette with a gag gift
Which she isn’t impressed with!
While Leia and Hope are joking around at a nearby table
The siblings all grab their favourite childhood drink – rootbeer floats – and enjoy them as they continue joking around
Then Mateo, Josette, Harry and Moses decide to try the bubble blower
But Hope and Leia skip out on the activity, with Hope being pregnant and Leia trying for a baby (no baby yet, as we took a test earlier!) they decide to stay and keep joking around with some fellow jokesters
After having fun with the bubbles, Josette and Moses order some food
And Leia buys some swag – some bubbles and a snow globe for her son
She also bumps into Chantel, her veterinary assistant, and the two chat for a while
While over at the tables, the guys are enjoying some food
As the night wears on, the festival comes to a close – the jokesters win, and everyone wins $500 and some fireworks! Hooray!
The family stay to watch the fireworks
Before heading home
Back at the Muse apartment, Harry gives the nanny a tip for staying so late
While Leia heads in to check on her son, who is sleeping soundly
Still full of the excitement and fun of the festival, Leia and Harry share a kiss
Before heading into the bedroom, trying again for another baby…
And that’s all for today’s episode! What will happen next? Is Hope having a boy or a girl? Will Leia get pregnant? And what else will happen?
Find out next time on All About The Armstrongs!

Harry?
Correct!
Hello, Hello! Today will be jumping between all three households a little, so I will try and keep it easy to follow!
We begin our day with Josette, who is setting up a little baby shower for her sister-in-law at her house
most of this is CC content from here: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/413909021983503415/?lp=true
She sets up a cupcake table, knowing cupcakes are Hope’s favourite
Then, having finished setting up, she heads downstairs to have a quick breakfast with her boyfriend
Before he has to head off to work
A little more prep and a change of clothes later, and the baby shower is a-go!
Josette feels her niece/nephew kicking
And then mixes up some (non-alcoholic) drinks for everyone
And the women sit together to talk and enjoy their drinks
We have Meredith Goth, Rita Delgato, Winter Holiday… all our favourites return for a celebration!
Josette asks Hope what she’s hoping for, and Hope says she really doesn’t mind, but Mateo is hoping for a girl
Josette presents Hope with some gifts from everyone
She gets some toys, teddies, baby clothes and pampering products for the mum-to-be
[img]https://i.imgur.com/7ZZZANH.png[/img It’s not too long before Hope wants to attack the cupcake table, so everyone fills their boots with different types of cupcakes![/img]
Yum!
Then, Josette calls everyone over to watch as Hope opens her balloon reveal box
And she reveals that she’s expecting…
A GIRL!
Everyone is so excited to be welcoming a baby girl into the family, especially Hope, who knows her husband was hoping for a daughter!
Hope thanks Jo for throwing her a wonderful baby shower as she helps her tidy up
Then downstairs she chats with Leia about the baby and hopes that she gets pregnant soon too, so the little cousins can be around the same age!
Hope bids her friends and family goodbye
And then we head home to Windenburg with her
Where she reveals to her husband that she is indeed expecting a baby girl!
He’s thrilled!
He kisses his wife happily and expresses just how happy he is
Then, the couple heads to bed, needing their rest before becoming parents!
And that’s all for today! What will happen next? What will Hope and Mateo name their daughter? Will Leia get pregnant? And how will Armstrong’s birthday go, tomorrow?

Welcome back! We return to the Muse household in San Myshuno, where Leia arrived home after the baby shower feeling unwell
She’s quick off the mark to take a pregnancy test, hoping that her sickness is pregnancy related
And it is!
Leia is pregnant!
She rushes out to tell Harry, and the two are thrilled!
He pulls her in for a kiss and the two head to bed, excited that they’re pregnant again!
As morning dawns over the city, Leia is still full of joy at her recent discovery, as well as full of anticipation for today – it’s Armstrong’s birthday (already!) and so she’s making a nice breakfast to start the day off right
The family sit together, and Leia tells her son that he’s going to be a big brother! He’s so excited!
Then, tells him all about his birthday party – it’s Halloween today too, and so they’re having a costume party to celebrate his birthday!
After breakfast Leia gets started on the housework
And baking a birthday cake for Armstrong
While Harry takes the excited toddler in to his room to calm down and get ready for the day ahead
And as he gives him a bath
Leia gets cracking on the decorations
Halloween themed, of course! We have yellow and orange balloons, cute ghost decals on the walls
And of course, a big pile of presents!
Then it’s back to the kitchen to prepare some food for the guests. She starts by making some bagels and an apple pie
Back in his room, Armstrong is listening to a story from Harry
And with the last of the decorations up, Leia gets into her costume (lucky it still fits, huh Leia?)
Harry is dressed up as a villain, and Armstrong is wearing a cute monster costume!
The last of the snacks are prepped and set out
And the party begins! Hope and Mateo are the first to arrive
The very pregnant Hope is sporting a pirate look
While Uncle Mateo has certainly committed to the fancy dress in a full clown outfit!
When Josette arrives, Leia breaks the news to her family that she and Harry are having a baby, and of course everyone is excited for them!
With the greetings and big news out of the way, it’s on with the party!
The birthday boy is quick to request some play time with his Auntie Jo
And then Leia entertains everyone with a story or two
Before it’s time to blow out the candles!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARMSTRONG!
The newly aged up Armstrong is wished a happy birthday by his family
And presented with a few gifts, including a game cube, science set, new books and toys!
While Leia greets some trick or treaters outside
Armstrong sneaks into his room to play with his game cube
In his new room!
After a little more time dancing and talking, the rest of the family has to head home, and Armstrong is left on the couch with his Mother to talk
She talks to him again about her pregnancy and asks how he feels. He’s super excited and is hoping for a little brother!
Leia and Armstrong share a sweet mother/son moment
After a quick snack to fill themselves up
It’s time for bed for Armstrong – it’s his first day of school tomorrow, so he needs his rest!
And with their son in bed and a great birthday party behind them, Leia and Harry share some time in front of the fire place, finally able to stop and appreciate the true joy that they’re having another baby
And with that, it’s time too for the parents to head to bed
And that’s all for this episode! What will happen next? Will Hope give birth? Is Leia having another boy, or will this baby be a girl? What else could possibly happen?!

Drawing ever closer to our special part 100, and I can reveal that part 100 will actually fall on Christmas, and so we will have a super special Christmas episode up for that!!
But for now we must return to our current timeline and day 95 in the life of the Armstrong family!
Leia starts the day by making pancakes – the most important meal ever eaten in an Armstrong household!
And of course, it IS an important day today, as it’s Armstrong’s first day of school! Generation 3 is officially in education!
Armstrong hops in the bath after enjoying his pancakes, getting ready for the day ahead
And after a sweet kiss from his Mum and a “you’ll be fine” pep talk from Dad…
It’s time for Armstrong to head off to his first day of grade school!
With her son off to school for the day, Leia gets ready for her doctors appointment – she and Harry will get their scan today, and find out the sex of their baby!
With no time to lose it’s off to the doctors for this happy couple!
A couple of hours later they return home with a sealed envelope containing the scan and the gender. They decide to wait for Armstrong to get home before the big reveal!
They discuss a plan for how they’ll do the reveal over a lunch of bagels and once they’ve decided, they get the plan in motion
While Leia heads into her room for a nap – it’s tiring work, being pregnant!
Harry gets some chores done while his fiancé rests
And then decides to head into the square, where he comes across a table selling crystals – notably, a very pretty and rare orange crystal called Jonquilyst
He decides his bride-to-be would love the ‘drop of sunshine’ crystal and so decides to buy it for her
Back at home he finds her well rested from her nap and presents her with his finding
She loves it! She puts it pride of place on the dresser and thanks her fiancé for the thoughtful gift
Armstrong returns home from school at 3pm and seems content with how his first day went
His mother breaks out the apple pie
And sets it down in front of him, telling him to take a big slice and tell her all about his day
The family sit down together and enjoy the pie, as Armstrong tells them about his day
He made some friends and is enjoying his classes
Hooray!
After pie, Leia and Harry bring their son into the empty soon-to-be nursery and present him with a big box
Inside there’s a teddy bear, either pink or blue, that will reveal the sex of the baby
Excited to find out if he’s getting a brother or a sister, Armstrong pulls open the box to reveal…
A PINK TEDDY BEAR!
That’s right! Leia is having a girl! And Armstrong seems thrilled!
Harry asks him how he feels, because he originally said he wanted a little brother
But Armstrong is beyond thrilled and can’t wait to meet his baby sister!
He even shares a sweet moment with his mother feeling his little sister kick
The excitement of the reveal as well as his first day of school has exhausted little Armstrong, though, and he’s shortly after tucked in to bed, heart weightless with excitement!
In the living room Leia and Harry are sat talking about their baby girl when Leia gets a phone call
Hope has had her daughter!
She heads quickly over to the Armstrong family home to meet her niece
And also reveals the news that she, too, is expecting a baby girl to the couple, who are thrilled that their daughter will have a built in best friend in her little cousin
(does this remind anyone else of when Liberty and Kate were pregnant together?! Memories!
Leia is taken into the nursery and introduced to her niece
Katherine Benali Armstrong
Named after her grandmother, Kate
While Leia spends some time with her niece, Mateo and Hope are outside chatting happily about their future niece
But the night is rolling in and Leia must head home, so she bids goodbye to the little family and braves the rain as she heads back to San Myshuno
Where she climbs into the warmth of her bed and falls sound asleep, excited as her due date rolls closer
And that’s all for this episode! What will happen next? What will Leia and Harry decide to name their daughter? And will she one day become best friends with Katherine? What’s going on with Josette, we haven’t seen her in a while?

Welcome back and Happy Thanksgiving!
That’s right, it’s Harvestfest here in San Myshuno and a big family meal is already in the works!
Hope is making the starter, a butternut squash soup
Josette, our host for this years festivities, is making the ham!
anyone for pizza?
OK, OK, no more fire jokes! Sorry Leia!
And Leia is making a winter cake
It’s Mateo’s birthday today too, so we are in need of a cake that serves both celebrations and looks like we found one!
So, after a change of clothes
It’s time to head over to Josette’s house, where
the family greet each other happily
And Josette finds out the news about the sex of Leia’s baby and is very excited!
Harry volunteers to sort out the drinks
And the family sit around drinking, eating appetizers and chatting about thanksgivings of the past
A little later it’s time for lunch! The meal begins with butternut squash soup and goes down very well!
After a little time and some musical chairs (why can’t these sims just stay where I put them?!) the ham dinner is served
Leia calls everyone back to the table
And they enjoy the dinner, which was cooked to perfection! Well done Josette!
The family continue talking over their dinner, complimenting Josette on her cooking and telling stories, mainly about the kids – turns out baby Katherine is a really easy baby who hardly ever cries! Lucky them!
Before serving the dessert, Leia has a craving for rootbeer floats and so she makes a few!
These look so good I want 10
They all enjoy their drinks while Josette gives Mateo the tour of her house
Then it’s time for cake! Leia adds the candles and then calls everyone over
As the family sing happy birthday, Mateo blows out the candles and ages up!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATEO!
The festivities continue with fun and games until it’s interrupted by Leia, who is in labour!
what is it with this girl going into labour at family events?!
Harry is excited and much less stressed out this time as he gets everything ready and the family head home
Let’s go have a baby!
Finally back at the apartment Leia heads into the nursery to give birth!
And here she is! Leia and Harry have a daughter!
The couple think about a name for a while before drawing their inspiration from the crystal that Harry bought for his pregnant fiancé – it was a ‘ray of sunshine’ crystal, and that lead to her name…
Ladies and gentleman, I’m delighted to introduce Soleil Muse!
Armstrong is introduced to his baby sister and thinks she’s amazing – he can’t wait to play with her!
And with that, three become four and their little family is complete!
And that’s all for this episode! Sorry it was a little rushed – turns out having a family dinner of 7 while only being able to control 3 is pretty difficult and so taking screenshots wasn’t easy!
What will happen next? Will Soleil be an easy baby? Will Leia pick out her wedding dress before her wedding on Sunday? What else will happen?!

We return to an interesting and fun filled episode today – so let’s get on with it!
We are with Josette this morning for an exciting day for her – she’s today meeting her biological brother!
That’s right! Jolene, her biological mother, recently had a baby boy, and she’s going to meet him today!
It’s a big day, so she whips up a big breakfast to get her set up
And as she sits with Moses to enjoy the food, he asks her if she’s excited to meet her brother today
Of course, she is, and she’s also excited to see Jolene again!
So, while his girlfriend gets ready to go, Moses does the washing up
And with a change of clothes
And a peck for her boyfriend
It’s off to Jolene’s new house…
Where the two greet each other happily
And Jolene excitedly updates Josette on her life – her marriage to a man called Alex, her son, her new home… It’s all very exciting!
And then it’s time to introduce the two!
Josette, meet your baby brother Alex Junior!
AJ takes immediately to Josette and the two share a sweet moment
Josette gets to know Alex and learns how the two met. He’s thrilled to finally meet her!
And Jolene is clearly taking to motherhood well – it’s so nice to see!
Out on the porch, the two catch up. Josette tells Jolene about her house, the weddings and babies that have entered the families… It’s been a year of change for the Benali Armstrong’s all right!
Jolene is thrilled to hear how happy Josette is. She says that it reassures her she made the right decision giving her up for adoption all those years ago
But she’s still so glad to spend time with her daughter when the time allows – she asks if they can take some photos for them both to keep
Of course, our photogenic Josette is quick off the mark and takes a photo of the two
The resemblance is uncanny!
Jolene then takes a photo of her children together – again, the resemblance is insane! Those are some strong Timothy genes!
But the visit is soon over as Josette has other things to do today, so she bids Jolene, Alex and AJ goodbye
And heads off
To San Myshuno, where she greets her sister happily
And her nephew, of course
The sisters are heading off to do some cake tasting and wedding finalising – but before that, Josette takes a few minutes to see her new niece!
Then it’s time to head off – Leia bids her children goodbye
And they arrive at the Van Haunt estate for a classy afternoon tea…
And the three (oh, yeah, Hope came too!) dive onto the many cupcakes, tasting flavour after flavour…
Even trying a few of each
You know, just to be sure of the flavours!
After stuffing themselves with coffee and cake, Leia takes them out to the gardens to enjoy the view
They check out the beautiful landscape
But as the sun sets, it’s time to head home. Leia bids her sisters goodbye
And heads home to see her daughter – it may seem like she was born just yesterday (and yes, she was), but she’s aging up tonight – otherwise, she’d age up tomorrow and with the wedding too, it made sense to age her up a little early!
Leia is so excited to be marrying Harry tomorrow, so heads off to find him and tell him so
Then, after spending a little time with her son
It’s time for the family to watch on as baby Soleil becomes a toddler
And with that, we have a toddler! And she looks just like her mother! These Benali-Armstrong genes are strong too!
Harry reads his daughter to sleep
And then the rest of the family follow soon after – it’ll be a busy day tomorrow, and the couple will finally be married! They can’t wait!
And that’s all! What will happen next? What will the wedding be like? The dress? The cake?! What else will happen as we near our special episode 100?

It’s the morning of Leia Benali Armstrong’s wedding and the excitement can be felt throughout the town as she and her siblings all excitedly prepare for the day ahead.
In San Myshuno, the bride is preparing an Armstrong tradition – pancakes before a big day!
The family of four sit down to eat together, all excited for what today will bring
Armstrong talks to his sister about the wedding, and she’s super excited to get to wear a pretty dress!
There’s a lot still to prepare so Harry heads into the bedroom to get ready in his wedding suit
And the best man, Armstrong, is ready too
After saying goodbye to the girls, Harry and his son head off to the venue for final preparations
Leaving Leia and her daughter to get ready for the big day
Reinforcements soon arrive in the form of bridesmaids Josette and Hope
And after some happy greetings and hugs are exchanged
Leia breaks out the wine
And the girls sit to enjoy a glass as they slowly begin getting ready
But before long it’s time for the main event, and Leia tells her bridesmaids to get their dresses on
And they look beautiful! Leia has gone with a red theme for the wedding and these dresses suit both girls perfectly
They even have gorgeous red flowers in their hair, adding to the look!
Leia tells her bridesmaids how beautiful they look
Before getting into her own dress!
One final change as Soleil is put into her flower girl dress
And it’s off to the venue!
this venue was found in the gallery, and was built by litschisaftkind – thanks!
Inside the venue the music begins, and the guests stand as Leia enters
And as she walks down the aisle, looking beautiful in her wedding dress
Harry can’t believe his luck!
Romantic vows are exchanged
And then the rings!
And before long, Leia and Harry are officially husband and wife!
CONGRATULATIONS MR AND MRS MUSE!
The couple begin their life as husband and wife by cutting their wedding cake
Sharing a slice
And then, the DJ announces them as they meet on the floor for their first dance
So romantic!
After watching the newlyweds dance, family and friends make their way to the buffet spread for some food
All enjoying the delicious selection!
And discussing the wedding and the night to come
Which can’t come soon enough! After eating all they can, the family head to the dance floor and dance the night away!
(by the way – Katherine WAS at the wedding, I just didn’t notice she doesn’t seem to be in any of the photos! I guess she’s shy!)
But, as much fun as they’re all having, it’s soon time to head home. The guests slowly bid the couple goodbye and make their way out of the venue. Before making their way home, though, the couple stop at the fountain nearby. They married in Brindleton Bay, nearby to Leia’s old home – the moment becomes more romantic because of the history as the newlyweds share a tender kiss by the light of the fountain
After an exciting and fun filled day, the family are ready to get some well-deserved rest. Leia tucks her children into bed
And then heads to bed with her husband
And that’s all for this episode! What will happen next? What surprises will Part 100 hold for us? And what will happen tomorrow?

It’s Christmas Eve and school and work are closed, so the Armstrong clan decide to have a family day out!
So, they get ready for a day of fun! Armstrong hops into the bath
While Leia preps breakfast
While eating breakfast, Soleil is super excited for the day of fun ahead as her parents tell her all about what they’re going to do
Then, after a quick change of clothes
The family heads off to a family fun centre
I build this pretty quick so I could have somewhere for them to go!
The family meet in the pool and greet each other happily
Leia and Josette share a hug as Jo prepares to share some big news with her sister
SHE’S PREGNANT!
Leia’s so excited for her little sister
And gives her another hug, expressing her excitement to have another niece or nephew!
Then it’s time for the pool! The family jump in to the warm water, which is a great change to the snow falling outside
Armstrong has a tonne of fun, diving into the pool and impressing everyone!
Next door, there’s a kiddie play room, where Soleil and Katherine spend some time bonding and playing
The play room is in a spa, where Leia is having a steam in the sauna
Before deciding to do some yoga by the window to the play room, where she can keep an eye on the girls
Who are playing happily with a dolls house
Meanwhile, Armstrong is still enjoying the pool with his Dad and Uncle Mateo
While Leia joins Hope for some food in the poolside café
But before long it’s time for the families to head home
So, after some hugs goodbye
Leia and the family head back to San Myshuno, where she preps dinner
Armstrong gets his chores done before eating
And Soleil enjoys some book time
Before the family sit down for a Christmas Eve dinner
After dinner, Leia gives Soleil a bubble bath
And reads her kids a Christmas bed time story
Before it’s time to bed!
A big Christmas day ahead of them
And with that, we end our 99th day in the life of the Armstrong family
Tomorrow is Christmas day, and day 100 of our story. What will happen? Will Christmas bring any surprises? And how will we celebrate our 100th episode?
Find out next time on All About The Armstrongs!
