Jennifer Lopez is now officially the mother of two teenagers—and she let her fans in on the intimate breakfast in bed she gave her now 13-year-old twins Max and Emme (whose nickname is Lulu) to celebrate their birthday.

Lopez shared a video of them eating pancakes and waffles in bed and reading her birthday cards to them. At one point, she appeared emotional, wiping her eyes.

The musician appeared to be very in her feelings about her babies growing up, telling them at one point, 'Do you know how proud I am of you, who you’ve grown into? I remember yesterday, carrying both of you home from the hospital. Like this! In the middle of a snowstorm.'

Lopez opened up further in her caption about how much she adored her two children and her experience raising them so far.

She wrote:

My beautiful babies are teenagers today!!

OMG!! I can’t believe it’s been 13 years since I carried them both home in my arms in the middle of a snowstorm. Out of that blizzard came two perfect lil’ coconuts who rearranged my life and taught me the true meaning of love. It has been the most magical journey full of adventure and joy ever since... I’m feeling so many emotions this morning...so very emotional today... so proud and happy and heartbroken that I can’t freeze time. To my two caring, sensitive and special souls...who I know will change and rearrange the world in your own very unique ways...your mama loves you beyond forever.. and ever and ever...

Lopez made sure to document just how 'teenage' the twins now behave with photos of the laid-back pair enjoying breakfast posted to her instagram stories.
