Those kid photos that fill up your social feeds are either something you scroll right past or something you can't get enough of. In the case of actor Neil Patrick Harris, we suggest lingering for a bit to take in the extra lovable job he and husband David Burtka do of capturing life with twins Gideon and Harper.

The actor stopped by TODAY Monday to talk with Matt Lauer about his new book, "Neil Patrick Harris: Choose Your Own Autobiography," his childhood, coming out as gay and more.

Read an excerpt from NPH's choose-your-own adventure autobiography 

We used the actor's TODAY appearance as an excuse to flip through his adorable virtual family photo album:

The 4-year-old boy and girl clearly realize how good they have it with their doting dads as they pose for a variety of photos around the house, during holidays, on vacation and more. Much of it is shared on Harris' Instagram, and Burtka's Twitter feed.

"I couldn't be more in love with my family," Harris, 41, captioned a recent photo of Burtka, 39, and the kids.

"Harper won't leave her room," Harris said, before thanking Pottery Barn Kids for the vanity, "both literally and figuratively."

What's better than two siblings who are "best friends"?

At a park in New York, they're head over heels for one another.

Harris, busy on Broadway and elsewhere, said it was "good to have the family all together again."

The kids — "my two favorite bunnies" — were decked out for Easter with their baskets.

Gideon and Harper made a Valentine's Day card with hand and feet prints for Harris and Burtka. "#melting," Harris said in the caption.

Gideon and Harper posed with a couple snowmen as it was "beginning to look a lot like Christmas!"

"So grateful," Harris said at Thanksgiving on a photo of the kids playing on swings.

A trip to the movies for ... popcorn! and "Frozen"! 

Harris and Burtka are famous for taking their Halloween costumes to the next level. Last year, they dressed as Tweedledee and Tweedledum while the kids were Alice in Wonderland and the White Rabbit.

The first day of preschool. Smile! Or ... do that!

Burtka gets the last word on Twitter when it comes to Harris and the life they're living together with their family.
