A couple from New Jersey rang in the new year in a special way as they welcomed twins - but the babies won't share the same birth date nor the same birth year.
Ezra was born first at 11.48pm on New Year's Eve then his brother Ezekial was delivered 40 minutes later at 12.28am on New Year's Day.
The brothers were born at Virtua Voorhees Hospital in South Jersey which said the parents were "thrilled" at the momentous occasion.
