Happy golden birthday to Haddonfield’s own Brooke and Elise Fiannaca!
Today, the twins, born on Dec. 12, 2000, are celebrating their 12th birthdays.
“For me, it’s amazing watching them go from little girls to young adults,” said their father, Frank Fiannaca. “It’s making being a father harder and harder.”
The girls, who are sixth-graders at Haddonfield Middle School, are quite active, he said, in a plethora of sports.
“They both play travel soccer,” he said. “They’re both swimmers.”
Elise plays travel basketball, while Brooke participates in travel lacrosse.
Plus, “they both love to ski” with their mom.
“They have made us proud parents and continue to impress us,” said Frank.
The girls have two brothers, Lenny, 13, and 7-year-old Frank, Jr.
During spring break, the family will be taking a special trip to Park City, Utah.
While Frank jokingly refers to his daughters as “double trouble,” he quickly adds that it’s “all in a good way.”
“It’s all worth it,” he said.
When their dad spoke with The Sun, he was busily planning a surprise party for the girls, which was to be held last Saturday.
“They’re both great, fun loving Christians,” said Frank.
After today, the next triple digit birthday will be way past the end of our lifetimes on Jan. 1, 2101.
