Katherine Schwarzenegger's Thanksgiving weekend included plenty of quality time with the grandparents for her kids.
As the holiday festivities came to an end, the BDA podcast host shared a glimpse inside their own, including a heartwarming photo of her parents, Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger, doting on their two granddaughters.
Katherine is the former couple's first of four kids. She has been married to Chris Pratt since 2019, and the two are parents to daughters Lyla, five, and Eloise, three, son Ford, one, plus the Marvel star is also a dad to son Jack, 12, who he shares with ex-wife Anna Faris.

Other photos included one of her Thanksgiving tablescape, one with Chris, who is sporting some 70s-esque sideburns, one featuring Rob Lowe's wife Sheryl Berkoff, and some of the cooking they enjoyed as well.
Katherine also included a sweet photo of her two daughters looking into a massive gingerbread house, accompanied by their grandparents Maria and Arnold, another of them horseback riding, plus a sweet photo of little Ford decked out in a preppy, festive outfit.

"Beautiful pictures of you and your family. I hope you guys had a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving," one wrote, as others followed suit with: "Love this so much… Ford's little outfit! Beautiful family," and: Love this and your family!! Have to say fabulous Ford (& his outfit) may be the highlight," as well as: "You have a beautiful family, and you and Maria are beautiful inside and out."
Maria, speaking on The Jamie Kern Lima Show podcast in May, gushed about welcoming Chris to the family, after she herself introduced him to Katherine at church. "I'm so blessed with my son-in-law, who is so loving and spiritual, kind," she shared, adding: "He's such a great husband and father, and he is such a great member of our family."

"When children get partners, how do those partners fit in? How do you welcome those partners? How does everybody make sure that they make room? How do we open up our hearts to make sure that we are a growing family — an inclusive family, a loving family?" she reflected.
© InstagramShe maintained that it's her "job" to make space for that to happen successfully, and that she trusts that her kids know to "make room" when their siblings "bring somebody home."
"We've got to expand because our goal is to be welcoming," she further shared, adding: "And to be open and to keep communication going because you never want to put yourself in a place to make a brother or sister choose between their partner and their relationship with you."
