Mariah Carey keeps her loved ones close on first day of 2013 by bringing her husband and kids on stage

She may have been working on New Year's Day while many people were nursing a hangover.

But Mariah Carey, 42, ensured she spent the first day of 2013 with her family.

The singer brought her husband Nick Cannon and their two children up on stage during a performance on Australia's Gold Coast on Tuesday.

She's got a lovely dress on.

Beautiful as always
