Hilary Swank celebrated the holidays with her little ones by her side.
On Sunday, Dec. 29, the actress, 50, shared a rare shot on Instagram showing one of her young twins as they stand together in front of a decorated Christmas tree. Swank is mom to twins Aya and Ohm, whom she welcomed in April 2023 with her husband Philip Schneider.
In the sweet picture, Swank is festively dressed for the holidays in a red sweater, beige pants, and a pair of red flats while one of her twins plays with an ornament while standing in a diaper.
"Happy Holidays to you all ✨ So grateful for this community. Wishing everyone a restful and restorative time, as best as possible anyway, as we all navigate all we juggle," Swank began her heartfelt caption.
"Feeling so connected to all the caregivers out there who keep so many balls in the air and have little time for themselves. As well as anyone navigating loss in any way. Grieving is hard work, especially this time of year," she continued. "Massive love to you all 🙌🏼🤍."

Last week, the Million Dollar Baby star joined an episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna, where she opened up about her experience as a mom to twins.
Speaking about the holidays, Swank shared, "Last year was technically their first Christmas, but they were completely unaware. This time, they saw a tree with lights," and she said her little ones were in complete awe.
Swank also shared that watching the world through her children's eyes has given her a whole new perspective on life.
"Everything is new again," she said. "You hear that, but until you experience it you're like 'What does that even mean?' But now I know."
She added that being a mother not only makes the holiday season more special but "it makes every time of year more special." Swank raved, "Every day with them is so divine. It's such a blessing, and I feel so grateful and I'm so happy."
Despite recently turning 50 years old, she noted, "I feel like I'm 30 because I have 20-month-old babies."
Swank, who welcomed her babies at 47, told PEOPLE in October that for much of her life, she was "really focused on my other baby, which was my career."
"I knew I wanted to be an actor since I was 8 years old, and I have loved my career," she said. "I'm hopefully always going to be an actor."
"So I was really career-focused and I wasn't ready to have children in my 20s, or really even in my 30s, and then I hit my 40s and I didn't have a partner. That doesn't mean I had to have a partner," Swank said. "A lot of people get donors, and that's a wonderful option, a lot of people adopt, there's a lot of different ways, and so I was open to anything."
