Phillip and Jeremy’s B’day

On Saturday, November 18, family and friends gathered at the Whittakers’ Norbrook residence to celebrate the birthdays of Phillip and Jeremy Whittaker. Jeremy celebrated his 45th whilst his dad ushered in #75.

The father-son duo share the same birthday: November 14. Jeremy was born on Phillip’s 30th birthday.

The dual birthday celebration has been a tradition for years. “Over the years we have celebrated milestone birthdays together, 20/50, 30/60, 40/70 and now 45/75,” shared Jeremy as he welcomed guests into the space decorated by Allison Dexter where they raised copious toasts to the father and son and enjoyed dinner courtesy of Patsy Lyn Caterers.

Saturday Social takes you inside.
