Does your sister know how much work goes into making customs?

I also think only the birthday girl should get something.
You can give the other a pony for christmas, and if she likes it a lot, giver her another on her birthday. I don't think it would be fair to give the non-birthday girl something on the birthday girl's birthday.
Birthday.

Haha, that's a huge no on that one. Neither my sister or my mom know how hard and time consuming it is to make ponies with my school schedule.

Thanks guys! I agree with you, it bothers that my mom thinks both girls need presents on their birthdays, and that they have to have two of everything. I think half of it is my mom just loves spoiling her grand-kids. but then again I might be bias as there's a pretty significant age gap between me and my siblings and I never had to share my toys.

I think what I might do is give the younger one a baby pony for her birthday. one that matches her last birthday pony. then for Christmas I'll give the older one her own adult with a matching baby. Baby ponies (IE Mcdonalds ponys) are pretty easy for me to knock out. What do you guys think?
