The star expressed just how much she missed being able to spend the holidays with Frank, who is named after her late husband Frank Gifford, after her daughter-in-law shared a sweet glimpse of the baby decked out in festive clothing.
Erika took to Instagram to share an adorable photo in which her son is seen wearing a too cute for words knit hat crocheted to be the face of a turkey, while he is adorably grabbing onto his foot and bringing it towards his mouth.

"Forever overflowing with thankfulness to Jesus for our greatest blessing that is the little Fwanks," she endearingly said, and Kathie was quick to express her love for "Fwanks."
