Family Affair ~ Monica Celebrates “Still Standing: The Mother” (Flix/Video)

Monica, along with Rocko and their 2 beautiful sons Lil Rocko and Romelo celebrated with an afternoon of bowling and fun at Red Carpet Lanes Sunday evening. The event was filmed live for Monica’s new BET Reality Show “Still Standing” and the celebration also brought out quite a few celebs with their kiddies! Jermaine Dupri, Celebrity Photographer Derick Blanks, Rock City, and many more of Atlanta’s music community that has been down with Monica since day one, all came through to celebrate family and share in Monica’s success.

Romelo blows out his candles! He’s such a cutie!!

Lil Rock is 4? Where’d all that time go? Adorable!!

The party was billed as a birthday celebration for both Lil Rocko and Romelo but Monica let me in on a lil secret. It wasn’t actually either of the boy’s birthdays but Lil Rock wanted a day they both could share, so being the great Mom that she is…Mo gave her babies what they wanted. She explains it in the video below and also addresses why she chooses to keep her show “drama free”:
