Reese Witherspoon’s son Deacon towered over her in a sweet family portrait she posted to Instagram on Christmas Day.
She shares her older children Ava, 24, and Deacon, 21, with her first husband Ryan Phillippe and her son Tennessee, 12, with her second husband Jim Toth.
The 48-year-old, 5″1′ actress gathered together with all of her children to pose for a photo by the Christmas tree Wednesday.
They all appeared to have coordinated outfits and were complementing each other in black – Reese in an elegant dress with white embroidery.
She posted a whole album of their Yuletide celebrations, including a heartwarming photo of all three of her children sitting together at a restaurant table.
In one touching picture, she sat on the stairs at home with her youngest child and gazed lovingly down at him as her dogs lounged about nearby.

Reese shared her season’s greetings with her more than 30 million followers in the caption: ‘Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!’
Not pictured in her Christmas album was Oliver Haarmann, the 57-year-old financier that Reese has been dating over the past few months.
DailyMail.com was the first to reveal this summer that the Legally Blonde actress had struck up a romance with the German businessman.
Reese confirmed the relationship in September, publicly holding hands with Oliver as they enjoyed a stroll together in Manhattan.
She and Olivier were first seen out in New York in late July, and DailyMail.com exclusively reported they had been on multiple dates before.
However an insider remarked in early August that Reese was ‘taking things slow when it comes to dating,’ claiming that she was ‘friends’ with Olivier.
‘She enjoys it but doesn’t want it to be a big focus. She’s busy with work and her son. These are her biggest priorities,’ the source informed People.
Olivier is a founding partner of the private equity investment firm Searchlight Capital Partners and used to be a senior partner at the global investment firm KKR & Co.

He has two children with his ex-wife Mala Gaonkar, 55, who is now romantically involved with Talking Heads frontman David Byrne, 72.
Reese and Ryan got married in 1999 just three months after the release of their teen drama Cruel Intentions, which also starred Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair.
At the time of their wedding, Reese was already pregnant with Ava, and they then welcomed Deacon in 2003 before divorcing in 2008.
In 2011 Reese went down the aisle with Jim Toth, a former talent agent who represented such A-list names as Scarlett Johansson and Matthew McConaughey.
They announced their separation in March 2023, just two days before they would have celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary.
Insiders subsequently claimed that gossip had been circulating for months that the marriage was on the verge of collapse, via Page Six.
On April Fool’s Day last year it emerged that Reese had filed for divorce in Nashville, citing irreconcilable differences, according to TMZ.

Reese and Jim’s lifestyles were said to have diverged, as her Hollywood renaissance was flourishing and he preferred more relaxation, per People.
A source said Jim, who used to be at CAA but left in 2019 to work at the short-lived streamer Quibi, was more ‘laid-back’ while Reese was ‘headstrong and focused.’
‘They’ve been spending less and less time together while she was working,’ said one insider, as another claimed: ‘She has her hand in a lot of pots; he prefers less frenzy.’
Reese has a formidable list of projects in the pipeline, not only as an actress but also a producer – a role she has thrown herself into with gusto.
Her upcoming releases include a third season of her hit HBO series Big Little Lies, as well as a third Legally Blonde movie.
