maybe. Technically no. Purist will argue that the calendar began with year one making the year 100 the last year of a century, not year 99. When we count to ten, we start with the number one, making ten the last number in a decade. Counting forward, 2009 is the nineth year of this decade and 2010 the tenth, or last year. So a child born on 12-31-2009 and his twin born a few minutes later on 1-1-2010 were not born in two different decades.
Even so, it is unusual for twins to be born in different years. congrats to the parents.

You crack me up.
I made this argument to one of my YaYas on New Year's Eve.
It's NEXT year that will be uber-special because it's the beginning of a new decade.
We're still on the ugly train for another year.
