Barack Obama is celebrating his 52nd birthday today. The president was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4, 1961 — as evidenced by his now infamous birth certificate that became an obsession for Donald Trump during both presidential campaigns.

First Lady Michelle Obama posted a vintage photo on Twitter that she captioned, “Happy birthday Barack! Your hair’s a little grayer, but I love you more than ever. -mo

Late last week Mrs. Obama posted a Throwback Thursday “Fab four” image of her family that was taken when Malia and Sasha were perhaps 4 and 1. They are now 15 and 12.

The entire family will be heading to Martha’s Vineyard on August 10 to begin an 8 day vacation at a luxury rented estate valued at $7.6 million – estate photos here.

Extended family members expected to join the Obamas include Michelle’s mother Marion Robinson and her brother Craig Robinson, the head men’s basketball coach at Oregon State University.

Craig Robinson, 51, has two sons with his second wife Kelly — Austin, 2, and Aaron, 1. His two older children, Avery, 20, and Leslie, 16, were born during his first marriage. That union ended in divorce in 2000.

In case you were wondering — his sister Michelle, 49, will be celebrating a milestone birthday on January 17, 2014.

Happy Birthday Mr. President!
