Celine Dion has been uncharacteristically quiet on Instagram since she begged fans on October 14 to donate blood following the Las Vegas massacre. But her latest post has a much happier vibe, and she couldn’t wait to share it with her 1.8 million followers.

Dion’s youngest sons, twins Nelson and Eddy, turned seven years old and the Canadian songstress was only too happy to help them celebrate with what looks like a Michael Jackson-themed party.

“Can’t believe you are already 7 years old… Time flies! Happy birthday, my loves! I’m so proud of all of my boys! Mom xx…” Dion captioned the sweet family photo.

Déjà 7 ans, je n’arrive pas à le croire… Comme le temps passe vite! Bonne fête, mes amours! Je suis tellement fière de mes 3 garçons! – Maman xx… // Can’t believe you are already 7 years old… Time flies! Happy birthday, my loves! I’m so proud of all of my boys! Mom xx… ? : @denisetruscello #denisetruscello

In the photo, Dion has donned a white fedora similar to Michael Jackson’s iconic headwear. Meanwhile, Eddy and Nelson are rocking sequins with subtle nods to the King of Pop. While both twins are wearing Jackson’s famed black shoes and white socks combo with sequin-hemmed pants, one has also popped on a sequinned jacket to complete the look.

Fans were quick to spot the likeness, with many wishing the twins a happy birthday and others suggesting that such a cute snap should be used for family Christmas cards.

Dion shared another shot on her Instagram, which featured the twins trying out Jackson’s tiptoe pose and putting on their best MJ faces. It seems the boys have definitely inherited their mother’s flair for entertainment!

Even Dion’s eldest son, René-Charles, couldn’t help but join in on the fun, posting a more relaxed photo of his mother and brothers showing off their costumes to his own popular Instagram account.

Dion’s youngest kids aren’t shy about sharing the limelight with her gorgeous young sons; just a few months ago, she made sure to post a family picture with the boys as they boarded a plane to fly home after a summer in Paris. The photogenic pair smiled and waved for the cameras, and even seemed good-natured about their matching outfits—something most siblings are reluctant to agree to.

Au revoir Paris! ?? ?? Merci pour l’accueil chaleureux cet été. Nous nous sommes sentis comme à la maison. Thank you for the warm welcome this summer. It felt like home. – Céline . . ? : @denisetruscello #CélineDionLive2017
