No doubt about it: 2019 was a big one for Beyoncé and her family.
WATCH: Queen Bey wraps up the year that was – Carter style
In a gift to fans as we head into 2020, the mega-star has given us a rare glimpse inside her life with husband Jay Z and their three kids – Blue Ivy, who turns eight in just a few days, and two-year-old twins Rumi and Sir.
Sharing a compilation of video footage and images on her Instagram (including some never-before-seen bits and pieces), captioned simply “2019 Bey-Cap!!”, Queen Bey showed off moments such as date nights, birthday celebrations, behind-the-scenes happenings at events and so much more.
From Adele‘s birthday bash (of course they were invited) to the family Christmas card, the IGTV took us through the year that was in the life of the world of music’s First Family.
But it was all the bits she shared of her adorable kids that we really couldn’t get enough of!
Footage from Blue Ivy’s seventh birthday party – a rose-gold themed affair – as well as Rumi and Sir’s second birthday showed just how fast the Carter kids are growing up.
The superstar included a sweet video of herself and Jay playing with sparklers with their eldest child, who’s looking more and more like her mama every day.
Bey also included a sweet message Blue had made for her 38th birthday in September.
But one of the most gorgeous pieces of footage came in the form of Beyoncé wearing matching swimwear with all of her three children in what appears to be a relaxed family vacay – too cute!
But we were totally obsessed with the family’s Christmas-card snap – and its matching outtake shot, showing a distracted Sir, a pouting Blue and screaming Rumi!
Bey recently opened up about all things music and motherhood in a documentary special, Beyoncé Presents: Making The Gift.
The show opened on a scene of the singer and her family in Africa. “Visiting countries in Africa, it’s always an emotional experience for me,” Beyoncé said in the scene.
“It feels like I’m making peace with a part of me that’s yearning for my ancestral connection. I was blessed to be able to relive some of the experiences that I’ve been very fortunate to have over the years with my entire family.”
“Knowing where you come from, that’s what I want for my children.”
