Jennifer Lopez called upon her two adorable twins Max and Emme to help her get into the festive spirit. Giving her fans a sneak peek into how they were preparing for Christmas, the 45-year-old singer shared a couple of photos on Instagram. In one snap, Jennifer captured her six-year-old daughter Emme donning a pair of glittery Christmas tree shaped glasses, with her hair tied up in side buns. Showing that the apple doesn't stray far from the tree, Emme looked every inch a mini-me of her mother as she beamed out at the camera and gave her best winning smile.

"Ok she did it!! Officially got me in the Christmas spirit!!!#coconut #love," Jennifer captioned the snap. The actress, who split from her ex-husband and father of her children Marc Anthony in 2011, has previously explained how she came about calling her twins "coconuts"."They're my coconuts," Jennifer said on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno when the youngsters were just three-years-old. "That comes from when they were little and in their cribs and started growing hair. It looked just like a coconut to me. They both look like coconuts!"

The youngsters looked the picture of cuteness as they sparkled for their home photoshoot, with Emme taking particular joy in striking a pose in front of the Christmas tree. "MERRY (coconut) CHRISTMAS... #mylife #my purpose#thesetwoknowhowtohaveagoodtime," Jennifer wrote alongside the photo.
