How many birthday parties?

My Little Mary, who turns 7 tomorrow, asked me yesterday, "Mom, can I have a hamster birthday for my birthday?"  (She's been wanting her own hamster for quite some time.)

"Ummm, I don't think we can do a hamster birthday." (I really don't like any rodents, and I was trying to avoid the hamster talk, haha.)

". . .  And we aren't feeling well; we've been sick with bad colds, and shouldn't have our friends over and get them sick.  Maybe next Saturday we can have the party, but we can have a party with just us on your real birthday."

After a long pause, she says. . . "So does that mean I get two birthdays?!" It made me laugh with the way she said it.  So innocent, and funny.  She did remind me today that there's 1 more day until her "birthday". . .
