The twins just celebrated their 12th birthday–and not even dad can believe how much they've grown.

Neil Patrick Harris is one proud dad.

The actor recently took to social media to gush over his twins, Harper and Gideon, on their 12th birthday.

In a post shared on Oct. 12 via Instagram, Harris reflected on his time as a parent and celebrated his two children. Along with a very sincere birthday message, the actor shared two side-by-side photos of him with each of the twins. 

"Twelve years old today. Harper and Gideon are, without question, the greatest two things that have ever happened to me. They inspire me, make me chortle, allow me to be an imperfect father, and fill me with a type of love I never knew could exist," Harris, 49, wrote of the two children he shares with his husband David Burtka, 47.

Harris concluded: "Plus, they’re super fun to hug…"
