Two little boys will have four big reasons for a family celebration - they were born two hours apart on New Year's Eve to mothers who are identical twins.

Ohio's Akron Beacon Journal said Aiden and Donavyn Nelson's 19-year-old mothers, Aimee and Ashlee Nelson, were not raised to do things alike and did not plan the births to come at the same time. In fact, their due dates were about a week apart.

But Donavyn was born just after noon on the last day of 2012 and Aiden made his appearance at about 2pm.

They were delivered by the same doctor at Summa Akron City Hospital.
