Brangelina's Baby-Monitoring Mother's Day

Angelina Jolie celebrated Mother's Day by doing a little bumpwatch of her own, logging some quality time with the forthcoming family additions.

The expectant mom, accompanied by Brad Pitt and sons Maddox and Pax, checked out the inner workings of her womb and its current denizens via sonogram at a hospital in Grasse, France.

"Angie was due for a scan and they thought it would be cool to do it on Mother's Day and take Maddox and Pax along to see the twins for themselves on the sonogram machine," a source close to the couple tells E! News.

"Brad and Angelina are very big on explaining things in a very simple way to their kids, and they want the kids to feel included in the process of her pregnancy. Having them see the babies for themselves was a really exciting day out for them all."

After the Sunday trip to the hospital, la Clinique du Palais, about an hour's drive from their current headquarters on the French Riviera, the family swept by the local McDonald's drive- through and picked up two Chicken McNugget Happy Meals for Maddox and Pax plus two Quarter Pounders with cheese for Jolie and Pitt.

The foursome then headed back to their digs at Paul Allen's Villa Maryland in Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, where they regrouped with daughters Shiloh and Zahara for an impromptu poolside party complete with cupcakes and balloons.

This morning, Pitt headed out for a boys' day out with Maddox and Pax, along with the family's lawyer. The group took a helicopter from Monaco heliport.

Last year, during the Cannes film festival, Jolie took the boys to see dolphins and killer whales at a local attraction called Marineland, and she's now talking about taking the girls to do that in the next few weeks.

It was an eventful weekend for the Brangelina bunch.

On Friday, Pitt dropped in to celebrate new buddy Bono's 48th birthday at Sass' Café in Monaco.

The dozen revelers also included Bono's wife, Ali Hewson, Monaco's Prince Albert II and The Edge, who dined on Italian specialties including fettuccine with seafood and a strawberry and cream birthday cake with champagne. The party didn't shut down until after midnight.

"Brad was chatting away to Bono, The Edge and Prince Albert," reports a restaurant source. "They were laughing and joking and having a great time."
