Madonna and her children traveled to her home state of Michigan for a very special reason.
Yesterday, the pop icon shared a video montage on Instagram of her and her family visiting her father, Silvio Ciccone, in Traverse City, Michigan, to mark his 90th birthday. All six of Madonna's children—Lourdes Leon, 24, Rocco Ritchie, 20, David Banda, 15, Mercy James, 15, and twin daughters Stella Ciccone and Estere Ciccone, 8—were there to celebrate the landmark occasion. In between photos of cake and family portraits, Madonna also shared snapshots of all her children taking in the lush greenery of her father's vineyard and a sweet photo of her sharing a hug with her eldest daughter.
