Very few things make me feel as old as a celebrity’s kids growing up does. It somehow doesn’t seem possible that babies out there are getting older at the same rate that I’m getting older.
Denise Richards’ daughters with Charlie Sheen, Sam and Lola, are somehow already 14 and 15.
It seems impossible that these girls were born in 2005/2006 and are already all grown up.

It’s true, though, as showcased in the holiday card that Denise just shared on Instagram.
“Excited to show everyone our 2019 holiday card,” Denise wrote.
“The holidays are all about family, and this working mom is especially grateful our card was so easy to make, so high-quality and so quick to arrive.”
“Very blessed to call this family mine.”
Obviously, the comments on the photo were full of people complimenting her beautiful family, but people were also amazed at how old her daughters looked.
“Wow your girls are beautiful!!”
“Aww your oldest looks so much like you!” wrote another.
I might feel old, but I can’t deny this family picture is beautiful.
Alongside Sam and Lola, Denise is also posed with her husband, Aaron Phypers.
Denise and Aaron had a whirlwind romance when they began dating in 2017, announced their engagement in 2018, and then got married just two days later.
Denise and Aaron’s daughter Eloise is also in the shot.
Denise adopted Eloise in 2011 on her own, but revealed on The Talk this year in May that Aaron is “amazing with my daughters, and he’s adopting my youngest, so it’s really great.”
Denise has been extremely open with her experiences with Eloise.
She revealed in February of this year that a chromosomal disorder has caused a lot of struggles for Eloise in an interview with People .
Denise revealed that the disorder “has caused a lot of developmental delays for her.”
She first noticed signs when Eloise wasn’t reaching typical milestones for babies on the right schedule. “She wasn’t able to sit up on her own for a very long time,” Denise said.
“And she didn’t start walking until she was 2, and that was with physical therapy.”
“She can only say a handful of words,” Denise continued. “And there are times when she feels like her age in understanding, and then other times where it feels she’s emotionally 3 years old.”
“It’s been challenging.”
“I’m learning every day because they don’t really have a road map for her particular case.”
“Every child is different,” Denise said.
“You take care of your children no matter what is going on with them. I don’t know if [Eloise] is ever going to talk like a typical child. But as a parent, you want what’s best for your children, and you just do it.”
It’s awesome that Eloise has such a loving family, and they all look so happy in their holiday card!
