Madonna is showing love for her kids, including eldest son, Rocco Ritchie, this Christmas as she and his father, her ex-husband Guy Ritchie, continue their custody battle over the teen.

The 57-year-old Queen of Pop posted on her Instagram page on Friday, Christmas Day, a photo of herself and the 15-year-old boy at her birthday party this past August.

"Merry X-mas to the Sun-shine of my Life! OXOOXOXO," she wrote.

A New York Supreme Court judge ruled earlier this week that Rocco is to return to the city to be with his mother after living in London with his dad. Guy's attorney reportedly said the teen "has expressed very clearly that he does not want to return to New York." The judge suggested the boy talk to Madonna about it and later revisit the issue.

Madonna has not commented. The parties are due in court again in February, records show.

Madonna also posted on her Instagram page on Friday photos of her other kids—daughters Lourdes Leon, 19, and Mercy, 9, and son David, 10.

Madonna and Ritchie also share custody of David, who the singer adopted from Malawi in 2006. The couple divorced two years later. Madonna adopted Mercy from the impoverished African nation in 2009.
