The saying may go "like mother, like daughter," but in Reese Witherspoon's case, it should really go "like mother, like daughter and sons."

Witherspoon—who turns 42 today—and her three kids (Ava, Deacon, and Tennessee) are practically doppelgängers. Her three mini-mes all bear a shocking resemblance to each other and every time we see them together, we can't help but notice.

RELATED VIDEO: Instagram Moments Where Reese Witherspoon & Ava Phillippe Looked Like Twins

The resemblance is so uncanny that we've rounded up some of our favorite family twinning moments that will leave you wondering if Witherspoon outright cloned herself.

Be warned, though. You might do a double-take or two.

The dynamic duo hit the stores in Los Angeles in stylish outfits that they could totally swap with each other, should they feel so inclined. Ava wore a cozy oversize gray sweater with a turtleneck along with black shin-length leggings, white sneakers, and round shades. Reese donned a navy sweater and medium-wash jeans along with black and brown strappy slides and cat-eye sunglasses.

There's nothing like ringing in a birthday with your loved ones—just ask Reese. The actress celebrated her 41st birthday with her two oldest children, and we think her caption of #ProudMom just about covers it.

Reese and her eldest son Deacon sported red noses, but this wasn't a Rudolph moment. This mother-son pair teamed up to spread awareness for Red Nose Day earlier this year, which aims to end child poverty both in the U.S. and worldwide. A great cause for a great family.
