Twins born in different years
They won't have to share a birthday.

GLENDALE, Arizona -- A couple in Arizona now have twin boys born in different years.

Sawyer Shay arrived at 11:51 p.m. on New Year's Eve. His brother Everett showed up at 12:01 a.m.

Mom and dad say they got to the hospital Saturday, and as the clocked kept ticking they knew they had a special duo making a grand entrance into the world.

"As it was happening we were like 'Oh'. We had a little foreshadowing this could happen," said Brandon Shay, the twins' father.

The boys have two sisters ages 13 and four that are waiting for them at home.
