Jennifer looked every inch the adoring mother as she played, cuddled, and doted on her children in the slideshow.
The post included a snap of Jennifer as a new mother, cuddling her swaddled newborn and beaming for the camera.
It also included a shot of the family dressed as characters from the Wizard Of Oz for Halloween.

Their children sported the Cowardly Lion, Scarecrow, and Dorothy Gale costumes.
Jennifer and Ben were married from 2005 to 2018, and share daughters Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12, and son Samuel, nine, together.
Last year Ben called divorcing Jennifer the ‘biggest regret’ of his life.
‘Shame is really toxic. There is no positive by-product of shame. It’s just stewing in a toxic, hideous feeling of low self-worth and self-loathing,’ he said in an interview with The New York Times.

The couple have not let their split stop them from enjoying a great co-parenting relationship.
‘Ben and Jen have immense love and respect for one another,’ a source previously told Us Weekly in 2018.
‘They still coparent together and that will always come first. He will always be supportive of any decision she makes and ultimately just wants her to be happy.’
Both have moved on romantically as well.
Ben was recently in a relationship with actress Ana de Armas, while Jennifer has reportedly rekindled her romance with ex John Miller.
Top-secret! The post included a silly video of Jennifer whispering to the camera, ‘Don’t tell anyone but I think I’ll be home for bedtime!’
