Beyoncé celebrated her youngest kin as they turned 4 years old this year.
The "Crazy In Love" singer, 39, took to her personalized website to wish her twins Rumi and Sir Carter a happy 4th birthday on Sunday.
"WHAT'S BETTER THAN 1 GIFT… 2," the black-and-white message reads. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUMI & SIR."
Unlike birthday posts made out to other celebrities on the site, this familial shout-out went without any images of the twins.
Beyoncé shares Rumi, Sir, and her eldest daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, with Jay-Z, 51.
She welcomed the twins on June 13, 2017, after an "extremely difficult" pregnancy plagued by preeclampsia, a condition characterized by high blood pressure.
"My body went through more than I knew it could. I was 218 pounds the day I gave birth," she said in her 2019 Netflix documentary, "Homecoming."

She also described the transition of balancing work and family after giving birth to her two youngest kids.
"I would dance and go off to the trailer and breastfeed the babies, the days I could I would bring the children," she remembered. "I'm just trying to figure out how to balance being the mother of a 6-year-old and twins that need me and giving myself creativity. Physically, it was a lot to juggle."
She continued: "It's like, before I could rehearse 15 hours straight. I have children, I have a husband, I have to take care of my body."
While Beyoncé and Jay-Z are typically very private when it comes to family matters, the "Black Is King" creator recently honored her kids in an acceptance speech at the 2021 Grammy Awards in March.
"It's such a magical night, thank you so much. I know my daughter is watching. Two daughters and my son, they're all watching," she said while accepting the award for best R&B performance for "Black Parade."
She went on to congratulate daughter Blue for winning her first award at the ceremony; she took home best music video for "Brown Skin Girl," for which she's credited as a songwriter.
"Blue, congratulations, she won a Grammy tonight. I'm so proud of you and I'm so honored to be your mommy, all of your mommy's. Y'all are my babies, and I'm so proud of y'all. I love you so much, my rock," she said.
