Britney Spears Posted A Rare Picture With Her Boys, And 1) They're Huge Now And 2) Nothing Makes Me Happier Than This
I feel ancient.
If there's one thing you need to know about Britney Spears — besides the fact that she has been in a conservatorship for over 13 years* — you should know that she absolutely, positively is obsessed with being a mom.

*A conservatorship that she is currently trying to get her father Jamie removed from. Read more about that here, or if you haven't already, just watch Framing Britney Spears for a good primer.
If you're a Britney fan, then you know nothing makes Britney happier than being with her boys.

Just for some background, Britney's boys' names are Jayden and Preston*. They were born in 2005 and 2006.

It's actually "Sean Preston," but Britney insists on calling him just Preston.
We've grown up with them!
