It was an extra celebratory Easter weekend for Bruce Willis, his wife Emma Heming Willis, and their daughters.

The couple's first daughter together, Mabel Ray, marked her 12th trip around the sun on Sunday, officially making her only a year away from becoming a teenager!

The Die Hard actor, who recently celebrated his 69th birthday, has been married to the Make Time Wellness co-founder since 2009, and they also share daughter Evelyn Penn, eight. In addition, he's a dad to daughters Rumer, 35, Scout, 32, and Tallulah, 30, who he shares with ex-wife Demi Moore.

In honor of Mabel's 12th birthday, her mom Emma took to Instagram with a heartfelt tribute, sharing a round of photos and clips of her firstborn through the years.

She included videos of the birthday girl running around at the beach, enjoying travels with her family, singing at school, and more pics where she looks so tall and grown up.

Emma also included heartwarming clips where Mabel is showing off her goofy side, and later wrote in her caption: "All that is you, Mabel Ray."
