Celine Dion put on a happy face as she posed with her sons beneath the tree for the family holiday photo, posting it to Instagram on Christmas Eve.
The 50-year-old glamour queen went casual in jeans and a hoodie while she sat with Rene-Charles, 17, and Nelson and Eddy, eight - as well as their dogs Bear and Charlie.
'May your heart and home be filled with warmth, peace and love. Happy Holidays everyone!' captioned the Quebecoise singer, repeating the message in French
All three boys have grown a lot since losing their father, with oldest Rene-Charles looking all grown up.
Celine has released two Christmas albums over the years - Celine Dion chante Noel in French in 1981 and These Are Special Times in English in 1998.
Before Christmas 2016, her first since Rene's death, she told Page Six that her Yuletide would be 'bittersweet' but she would not let her grief take over.
'I cannot just live on like: "I lost my husband, my children have no father." I have to stand tall and strong because this is my way of living: Stand tall, be positive, pick your battles, do the best you can and to live for today, not for tomorrow, for today, and know nothing is perfect, not everything you want will happen,' she said.
Celine met Rene in Canada when she was a 12-year-old aspiring singer and he was already 38, and he became her manager.
His dedication to nurturing her career reportedly drove him to mortgage his home so that he could provide funding for her 1981 debut album La Voix du bon Dieu.
Rene and Celine officially began dating in 1987 - when she was 19 years old and he 45 - and by 1991 they had gotten engaged.
It was only in 1993, however, that she publicized their romance, slipping the announcement into the liner notes of her album The Colour of My Love.
In December 1994 they married in Montreal's Notre-Dame Basilica, which became the venue for Rene-Charles' christening and Rene's funeral.
Rene died at 73 of a heart attack while suffering from terminal throat cancer in January 2016 - and two days later, Celine lost her brother Daniel to throat cancer
