FOUR SISTERS, ONE BIRTHDAY

- By Katherine Sutherland

GROWING up in a big family means learning to share. But sisters Erin, Leah, Charlotte and Isabelle Sullivan have taken it to the extreme – by all having the same birthday.

Twins Charlotte and Isabelle, nine, and their one-year-old sisters defied odds of 4.5million to one to all arrive on January 25.

But while rememberin­g their birthday will be easy, their mother Zoe, 38, and RAF engineer father Ben still face a struggle to recall those of their five other children – Elizabeth, 11, Olivia, ten, Noah, seven, Evangeline, five, and Tobias, four. And the couple, of Lossiemout­h, Moray, already have another baby on the way.

Mrs Sullivan said: ‘The other children were like, “can we have a baby on our birthday?” but I don’t think I will be able to do that again – it was a complete fluke.

‘All the kids are happy, they are all healthy. They like the fact they are in a big family – there’s never a dull moment.’
