Residents decorated their cars with signs and drove up to the twins. One poster sent best wishes from a kindergarten class at nearby Pointer Ridge Elementary School.

The group brought gift baskets, flowers and balloons. Each sister also got a gift card to their favorite restaurant: Bob Evans.

This festivity was part of the “100 Events of Summer” from the Prince George's County Office of Community Relations. The office served 50,000 locals with more than 150 family-friendly activities last year.
