"But also, our parents did something right," Jenna continued. "They made us make sure that we support each other and not compare ourselves to each other." Added Barbara, "We are different in many ways, our temperaments are different, but as Jenna says, we love the same things so it's great to be around each other so it's only additive in our lives" Here, on their 42nd birthdays, look back on some of the Bush twins' cutest throwback photos. 01 of 14 Sisters Who Nap Together George W.
