The first was Thanksgiving, which saw her gather around with her siblings at home, where they also celebrated the star's older sister Leslie's birthday.

In the caption, Lynda wrote: "Grateful for sisters… Hope you got to spend the day around a table with loved ones. Counting my blessings today. #HappyThanksgiving!"
While Lynda is often seen on the red carpet with Jennifer, and is well known in her own right as a successful TV journalist and author, Leslie keeps a far lower profile.

However, both siblings did feature in a joint interview on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 2002, where they described Jennifer as a typical "goofy" middle sister.

In the interview, both sisters admitted they never liked going on interviews to talk about their famous sibling. Leslie said that "as a kid, Jen was the ringleader.
Anything that was concocted was usually her idea." She also said of the award-winning star: "She's still my little pain in the butt sister." Lynda, meanwhile, revealed her disbelief over just how famous her sister had become.
