In addition to lending a supportive ear, Haylie never wants to “push [her] way” on Hilary and “vice versa.”
“It’s really special; it’s nice for them to be able to grow up together,” Haylie says of her 5-month-old daughter Lulu and newborn niece Banks. “We had a small family growing up, so we’re excited that we’ve got four cousins close in age that can play together.”
With daughters so close in age, the sisters arelooking forward to all the memoriestheir girls will make together.
“I think our girls might be in school together at the same time, that’s so fun and exciting for us to watch. It’s great,” Haylie adds. “We’re so grateful that everyone is finally here and healthy and happy, so no complaints on our end!”

The sisters, who both love to cook, are looking forward to spendingthe Thanksgiving holiday together. As Haylie prepares to take the lead in the kitchen, she expects her sister to bring the “pies and desserts.”
While holidays can be unpredictable, Haylie knows she’ll be making her favoriteMaple Roasted Beets and Carrotsrecipe and that someone will bring up the year the Duff family didn’t have a turkey on the table.
“When we were little girls, our parents put our turkey out on our front porch to thaw out — we lived in Texas — and left it there for most of the day,” she recalls. “The neighbor’s dog got ahold of it and dragged it off, but it was thegreat mystery of our familythat year. Everyone was like, ‘What happened to the turkey?’ “
