Michael Phelpsbrought his three sons to meet Santa Claus for the gang’s first Christmas as a family of five — and the outing went just swimmingly.
The retired Olympic swimmer, 34, shared the adorable results to his Instagram on Tuesday, and made sure to note that all three of his kids were on their best behavior.
“Santa!!! It was a success… all smiles and no tears ?. Merry Xmas and happy holidays to all!!!” Phelps captioned the post.

“I’m in love 3xs over with my boys and their 1st meetings with Santa ?? ?,” she wrote on Instagram.
Little Maverick joined the Phelps family in September, with Nicole writing on Instagram that the newborn “instantly has stolen all of our hearts and keeps me an ecstatic mommy of boys.”
Though certainly a male-dominated household, Phelpstold PEOPLE in Novemberthat his wife, who he married in 2016, doesn’t mind whatsoever.
“I think Nicole said something along the lines of like, ‘I’m so lucky to have a house full of boys and no girls,’ and Boomer looked at her and said, ‘Mommy, you’re the girl in our house,’” he said. “So we’ve been saying that and it’s true, she’s the queen.”

He added, “She’s the queen of the household, and she’s the only lady in there, so she likes it, I think. She said she enjoys it.”
The athlete also said that his kids being close in age was something he and Nicole had done on purpose, as the proud parents wanted their children to be able to grow up together.
