The actress took to Instagram to wish a very happy birthday to her rarely seen family member, and a look into what the two like to get up to when they're together.

She shared the heartfelt tribute alongside a video of the two working on their family farm in Oklahoma. It sees Jennifer looking ready to work and harvest some vegetables, sporting her go-to denim overalls over a striped t-shirt, paired with some adorable red rubber boots.

With her uncle, who is quite fittingly also in overalls, she is showing off her agricultural skills, and her strength, lifting up a massive bucket full of sweet potatoes to weigh them on an "old cotton scale."

The mother-of-three concluded the heartfelt tribute with: "Happy birthday, Uncle Robert, I can't wait to be on the farm with you again soon."
