The actress is mom to daughters Zoie, 16, and Beatrix, 13.
Jodie Sweetin’s daughter got a sweet birthday surprise from “Uncle J!”
The Full House actress, 42, shared a series of photos on her Instagram on Monday, April 15, posing around Disneyland with her daughter Zoie as they celebrated her 16th birthday. In one sweet photo, the mother-daughter duo smiled together outside the amusement park, wearing matching Mickey Mouse ears.
“Well.. this was a BIG weekend!! It was Zoie’s 16th Birthday!! And when I asked her what she wanted to do to celebrate, she said she’d love to go to @disneyland for the weekend, just the two of us, like we used to do when she was little,” Sweetin wrote in her caption.
The proud mom also shared that her friend and Fuller House costar John Stamos called ahead and got the two into Club 33, a private dining club at Disneyland.
“Also… @johnstamos set us up and we got to live out a lifelong dream and have dinner at the famous Club 33 to celebrate on Saturday night… THANKS UNCLE J!!”
However, the “best part” for Sweetin was getting to spend time with her daughter.
“As parents or anyone around teens knows, you spend most of the time feeling like all you do is nag, annoy, or argue with your teenager. This was a weekend to reconnect with Zoie and it was incredible,” the mom of two sweetly shared.
Sweetin shares Zoie with ex Cody Herpin. She is also mom to daughter Beatrix, 13, whom she shares with ex Morty Coyle.
In March, Sweetin posted an Instagram photo that showed her and Zoie in a car together. She jokingly nodded to a memorable Full House episode — titled “Honey, I Broke the House” — in the caption as she discussed helping her daughter practice her driving skills.
“This is me not at all worried while riding with Zo practicing her ‘neighborhood driving’ with her new Drivers Permit,” Sweetin wrote alongside the photo. “Actually … she was VERY good. As long as she never backs the car through the kitchen … we’re good.”
Her caption is a reference to the scene where her character Stephanie Tanner drove Uncle Joey’s car into the kitchen in the 1990 Full House episode.
