In the caption of his post, the celebrity choreographer revealed they celebrated her birthday in "the most wonderful way".
Sharing the day with his followers, Arthur wrote: "Started the morning with a beautiful breakfast together. Dada @bprdowling was getting ready for work, so of course we had to drag him for a quick pic, clips on his head and all."
After Brian left, Arthur said the "celebrations rolled on", with "laughter, play and so much love and fun".
He continued: "Later, Blake, Tati, and Papa headed out for a lovely lunch, squeezed in a few errands, and came home to the sweetest tradition CAKE for kids of course, aka for PAPA (because what's a birthday without it, RIGHT?)."
Arthur went on to share more heartfelt words for his mum, adding: "Another year older, but still always wise, and even more memories to treasure.
