She also grabbed a life-sized giraffe plush for the event. And, to go one step beyond to make her kids feel special, she made them special T-shirts and hats that read \"Roc & Roe's Virtual Birthday!\"

The \"Always Be My Baby\" singer made herself a shirt to match so all three could coordinate their outfits, complete with identical black pants. The twins appeared to love the party their mom threw them, as seen by the wide smiles the two flash in both photos.

Carey shares Roc and Monroe with ex-husband Nick Cannon, who also shared a birthday message for his children on Thursday.

Posting an adorable photo of his kids as newborns, he wrote, \"9 years have sped by and these 2 will be preteens soon! Somebody please slow this ride down!!\"
