It also gave former President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush a chance to spend some time with their newest grandson, Hal, after having only seen him once since he was born last year.

Jenna shared a sweet photo of her parents with Hal and her two daughters, Mila, 7, and Poppy, 4.

"It was great. We got COVID tests to go and see them," Jenna said. "There they are holding their grandkids, and they'd only seen Hal maybe once.

"Mila is now waking up at 5 in the morning because she was there waking up, running down to be with her Grammy and Jefe, and I just think even little moments of being with family (are special)."

The family is now getting ready to celebrate Hal's 1st birthday next week on Aug. 2.

"I can no longer use the excuse I just had a baby," Jenna joked. "Which I say to people, 'I just had a baby,' and they'll see the baby and they're like, 'He's a toddler.'''
