Underneath the post, one commenter posted, “What a GEM —YOUR mother is the most amazing , personable, friendly woman in the WORLD — her love for ya’ll is deeep!!” Another shared, “Beautiful family! Happy Mother’s Day!” Someone else said, “Happy Mothers Day Joanna and family you look so much like your beautiful Mother.”
Joanna followed up the family snap with an Instagram video of her mother creating a festive floral arrangement. “Oh, this is such a therapy. You know?” Nan stated while working on the bouquet, adding, “Mother’s Day, you can do whatever you want. Enjoy from every angle.”
In the post’s caption, Joanna wrote, “I learned from the very best. Happy Mother’s Day, mom!”
Earlier this year, Joanna posted another family photo, sans Chip and the kids, in celebration of her dad’s birthday. “Happy 76th Birthday, Dad! Your girls love you so much,” she captioned the snap, in which her dad sat at a table with his birthday cake as Nan and their kids stood behind him. “We are so grateful for your love, faith, strength, wisdom and kindness. Here’s to the very best year yet.”
