John Stamos just proved that he is still “Uncle Jesse.” The actor gave his Full House niece Jodi Sweetin (who played Stephanie Tanner) and her real-life daughter Zoie an exclusive experience for Zoie’s Sweet 16 — and it proves that sometimes TV families are for life!

The Craft Me a Romance star revealed the unique gift in a heartwarming Instagram post for her eldest daughter’s birthday. “Well … this was a BIG weekend!! It was Zoie’s 16th Birthday!!” Sweetin captioned a post full of photos taken at Disneyland. “And when I asked her what she wanted to do to celebrate, she said she’d love to go to @disneyland for the weekend, just the two of us, like we used to do when she was little. And oh man … did we soak up every bit of @disneyparks magic!”

Before they went to the parks, Sweetin’s Full House and Fuller House co-star called ahead to make them reservations at a private Disney club. “Also … @johnstamos set us up and we got to live out a lifelong dream and have dinner at the famous Club 33 to celebrate on Saturday night … THANKS UNCLE J!!” she wrote. This exclusive club is invite-only and has a rumored waitlist of 15 years. Once you get in, there’s reportedly a $60,000 investment and $25,000 annual dues. Making reservations for someone else to attend is not something that’s taken lightly, so this just shows once again how special Stamos and Sweetin’s relationship is.

Sweetin shares Zoie with ex Cody Herpin. She is also mom to daughter Beatrix, 13, with ex Morty Coyle. In her post, she added, “But the best thing about this whole weekend was getting to spend time with Zoie, just having fun. As parents or anyone around teens knows, you spend most of the time feeling like all you do is nag, annoy, or argue with your teenager. This was a weekend to reconnect with Zoie and it was incredible.”

Stamos has a little bit of perspective when it comes to creating special moments with your kids, although his son Billy, who he shares with wife Caitlin McHugh Stamos, is only 6. In fact, the little boy turned 6 last week, which Stamos marked with his own tribute.

“Happy Birthday Billy Boy. You are everything beautiful and meaningful in my life,” the General Hospital alum wrote. “Seeing you so full of wonder, so content, lights a warmth in me that gets rid of all the shadows and doubts of life. You, in your innocence and joy, make every challenge worthwhile. God only knows where I’d be without you, my dear son. You and your sweet mother are my purpose, my joy, my everything.”

But being a dad doesn’t take anything away from his on-screen nieces. Last year, Stamos shared a sweet montage video of him and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who played his niece Michelle Tanner.

“Watching Mary-Kate and Ashley grow into the incredibly bright and remarkable women they are today has been one of the greatest joys of my life,” he wrote on Instagram. “If you would have told me those blue-eyed babies I met on set nearly 40 years ago would still be in my life at 60 years old, I wouldn’t have believed you. I am blessed.”

Seeing how much the Full House stars love and support each other in real life makes my millennial heart soar.
