A pair of twins named Santiago and Melany were born Tuesday at the Medical Center of Southeast Texas.

To celebrate the birth of twins on such an auspicious date — 2/22/22 — the hospital provided the family with a gift of diapers, wipes, a little swaddle set and two toys.

Santiago is an older brother, born (of course) two minutes before younger sister Melany.
