Katie Holmes, ever the artsy mom, marked her daughter Suri Cruise's 12th birthday on Instagram with a rare, candid shot of Cruise lost in thought during her big day. Cruise, now solidly a pre-teen, wears a tiara and her signature giant bow. Holmes captioned the image with 12 hearts.
Holmes shares photos of her daughter from time to time on her page, though Cruise's face is often hidden in current-day shots.
The two made an on-stage, public appearance in December at the iHeartRadio New York Jingle Ball, where Cruise welcomed Taylor Swift to the stage in a fantastic star dress and giant red bow.
Cruise was born on April 18, 2006 to Holmes and her then-husband Tom Cruise. She's based in New York City with her mom these days.
