In December, the couple shared this year's holiday photo, a "retro" painting holiday vibe in partnership with Minted, on Instagram.

"We went retro for his year’s holiday card," he captioned the photo, which also included an additional shot of the family dogs on the backside of the card. "Thanks @minted for making making cards so simple."

In October, the actor penned a sweet Instagram tribute to the twins on their birthdays. “And, just like that, they’re teenagers,” he began his message, which was posted alongside several images of his kids.

The first snap in the post — which had Manhattan, New York tagged as the location — showed Harper and Gideon sitting at a table, eating what appeared to be a birthday breakfast while wearing party hats. Though Harris' daughter had opted for one celebratory hat, his son had artfully arranged three on his head.

“Happy birthday, Harper and Gideon," Harris continued in his caption. “You are the lights of my life. I can’t wait to watch you want nothing to do with me, and I promise I’ll be with you through all of it.

"Just, wow,” he concluded.

That same month, the actor opened up about getting ready for the teen years with his twins.

"We keep being told that at a certain point, they're going to hate us," Harris joked. "That hasn't happened yet. So you know, so far, so good!"

"They're good kids. We've done a good job. You know, you put the work in and you get it back, you know?" Burtka added.

The two are hoping that all the quality time they spend as a family will continue to foster good relationships all around.

"I mean, if you're going to spend time with your kids -- they have access to you, so the more access to you, the more they can open up," Burtka reasoned.
