The retired tennis pro, 41, and the Reddit co-founder, 39, surprised daughterOlympia, 5, on Wednesday with a “special” party where Disney’s Moana made a guest appearance.
Williams shared a series of snaps from the party onInstagram, which showed Olympia smiling alongside Moana and her parents as the group of four stood underneath a rainbow balloon arch.

“I am judging Olympia’s lemon cookies, they’re really delicious,” Williams began the clip. “I would like for the size to be more even I think this one’s a little bigger than this one, even if you put them on top of each other, they’re different sizes. So typically when you’re doing the sizes, you want them to be even.”
Williams then went on to compliment the glitter used to top off the cookies, praising her daughter for “going for different looks.”
Next, she broke the cookie apart. “I love how when you break it apart, it’s really easy to break. So it means that it’s actually a very soft cookie,” she explained, breaking another treat in half.
At the end of the clip, the athlete called Olympia over to her to celebrate her success.
“You did a really good job with this. Come here, let me shake your hand. That was good,” she said, shaking Olympia’s hand as she looked straight into the camera and said, “This is crazy!” prompting the pair to erupt into laughter as the video closed.
The tennis icon recently appeared on an episode ofthe PEOPLE Every Day podcastwhere she opened up about her more relaxed daily schedule after announcing in August thatshe was stepping away from the game.
“She wants to make sure thatI’maware that I should have time on my hands and I need to spend more time with her,” the 23-time Grand Slam champion said of her daughter, laughing. “I’m always like, ‘Olympia, I’m not working now.’ She’s like, ‘Yeah, you don’t play tennis!’ She’s like, ‘Yes!’ And I don’t really quite know how to feel about that!”
She continued, “It’s funny … but it’s good because little kids really want to be with their parents. And I just feel fortunate that she wants to be with me. That’s kind of how I look at it, [because] she could feel a different way, and I’m glad she doesn’t.”
