Seems like Reese Witherspoon had the best Mother's Day ever.

On May 12, the Legally Blonde alum posted the sweetest pic of her with the fam. In the photo, the actress is snuggled next to her three children, all giving sunny smiles. While this is not the first time the star has shown off her kids on Insta, fans in the comments were still wowed by the striking resemblance between her and oldest children, Ava and Deacon Phillippe. See the cute family photo below.

Her caption read, "The greatest gift of my life is being their mom. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!"

In case you didn't know, Witherspoon had Ava, 24, and Deacon, 20, around the start of her career in the early aughts with her now ex-husband, Ryan Phillippe. Along with the killer facial similarities, the Phillippe children have also started to follow in their parents' footsteps and enter the world of showbiz. Ava has modeled for several fashion brands in the past (sometimes alongside her mom) and Deacon made his acting debut in the third season of Netflix's hit comedy series, Never Have I Ever. The youngest Witherspoon mini-me is Tennessee Toth, 11, who the star tends to keep out of the limelight.

The 48-year-old actress also dedicated a Mother's Day post to her own mother, Betty, and as it turns out Reese is also a carbon copy herself.

Wow, those Witherspoon genes are strong.
