Here's the press release from ABC:

It certainly sounds like the twins will be arriving during the season finale, so that will surely give long-time viewers some great scenes.

As for the birthdays, there are a lot of family members, so it would make sense to tell this story over the course of an entire season.

We kid, mostly.

ABC renewed Modern Family earlier this year for an eleventh and final season, despite reports that the current tenth season would be the end of the line for the popular series.

There's no definite episode count at this moment in time, but given that the show is ABC's third highest-rated scripted series in the demo, it makes sense to keep it around for a little while longer.

Dylan - Modern Family Season 10 Episode 12

Before the season finale, we have Modern Family Season 10 Episode 21.

"Cam is finally getting a chance to shine when he is asked to preside over the high school graduation ceremony at the last minute, while Jay gives the commencement address," reads the official logline.
