Her followers were big fans of the photos, with one dubbing the group a "gorgeous family."
"Your family looks fantastic!" another top-liked reply exclaimed. "I hope everyone had a great holiday."
"Finally some true, amazing, real, honest, and full of love pictures. 🔥❤️," a third gushed.
"The most beautiful pictures I’ve seen here," one more wrote. "Thank you ❤️🩹."
Along with the sweet pics, the artist shared a heartfelt statement filled with gratitude for her family and the time spent with them.
"We are born into families and we create our own," she began in the caption of her Dec. 2, post. "As time goes by I am more and more appreciative of these microcosms of life that Dance around me and teach me lessons every day."
Madonna continued with a brief tribute to her younger brother, Christopher Ciccone, who died on Oct. 4. He was 63.
"My Family has experienced many losses this year. My father has endured with Dignity. Watching him cry in the cemetery when we buried my brother Christopher -right after he lost his wife. Was a moment I will never forget," she wrote.
"Spending time with him and all my children on Thanksgiving was Medicine for the Soul. 🍁🤎," the seven-time Grammy winner concluded.
