Two important men in Jennifer Aydin's life just celebrated two big milestone birthdays. The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member and mom of five kids with husband, Dr. Bill Aydin, took to Instagram over the weekend where she penned two very sweet tributes to her oldest son, Justin Aydin, and her dad, John Altinel, who celebrated their birthday one day apart.

Although there are 60 years between John — who turned 80 over the weekend — and Justin, who just turned 20, they still share the same, big smile and joy for living. And this year, they also happened to share a birthday party, too.

Jennifer took to her Instagram Story over the weekend, where she showed off scenes from John and Justin's joint birthday party, complete with balloons stating their ages and individual cakes for friends and family to chow down on. 

Jennifer kept the party simple in decoration but filled with sheer joy and happiness.

"Me and my five kids," Jennifer wrote over the photo of her and her children, adding the words "I am the mother" to the caption.

She also grabbed plenty of photos of her dad, John, with his arm around Justin, as they sat in front of their respective birthday cakes with huge smiles on their faces. Both John and Justin got to watch sparklers fly out of their cakes before making a wish and blowing out their candles.

She then revealed what's next for him this year in the caption of the post. "He's 80," she wrote. "We have a party, Atlantic City, and a trip to Mardin Türkiye on the bucket list. And I'm going to make it all happen for him, God Willing. Happy Birthday, Daddy!"
