Last week, Williams and husbandAlexis Ohanian, 39, surprised Olympia 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.

“Sometimes we surprise@olympiaohanianwith parties. We don’t need a reason or a special occasion we make everyday as special and memorable as we can,” Williams wrote. “Also her mama fast….”

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.”
