The Swiss Family Robinson! Madonna enjoys skiing trip in Switzerland with her children and David Blaine 'after the magician helped her rebuild her relationship with son Rocco' 

Madonna and her children Lourdes, Rocco, David and Mercy have been joined on their festive ski trip by family friend David Blaine.

The singer shared a jovial group snap, which included the famous magician, on Instagram from the top of a mountain.

The illusionist - famed for his stoney-faced appearance - even cracked a smile as he joined in the picture with the Queen of Pop and her brood.

Blaine, 43, reportedly acted as an intermediary for Madonna, 58, Rocco, 16, and Guy Ritchie, 48, during the former couple's high profile custody battle earlier this year. 

A source told the Daily Mirror back in April: 'Madonna and David have been friends for a long time and she’s reached out to him to speak to Rocco who thinks David is really cool.

'David helped Rocco with work experience a few years ago so Rocco looks up to him. 

'She hopes he can leave a good impression. She’s doing everything she can to win Rocco back.'

With the family situation now resolved, Rocco and Madonna couldn't have looked happier as they smiled for the snap.

The snap showed the stunning snowy slopes against a backdrop of mountains and a beautiful clear blue sky.

Earlier in the Christmas week, young David was seen featured in another photograph - this time with his father Guy.

The image was from the family Christmas card that Guy was sending out this year with his new wife Jacqui, and featured his son - whom he adopted with Madonna when they were married - with his other siblings.

Bringing their two families together this festive season, Guy and Jacqui's sweet Christmas card snap showcased their truly modern family as the acclaimed director and his two kids - Rocco and David - from his marriage with Madonna can be seen happily smiling alongside their half brothers and sisters.

Captioning the sweet pic of the Christmas card which read 'May your days be merry and bright', 34-year-old Jacqui wrote: 'Happy everything, everyone'.
