The final picture in the series portrayed a heartwarming scene of Pratt's two daughters, Lyla, 3, and Eloise, 2, playing in the kitchen with their grandfather and a pig.
Pratt's message continued with a personal touch, "Looking forward to another year of sage advice, good cigars, chess whoopings,, and hand feeding homemade cookies to the many barn animals that live in your kitchen."
In a recent conversation with People magazine, Pratt reflected on the significance of Schwarzenegger's support. "Arnold's support means the world to me on a couple different levels. Just being his son-in-law and being part of his family, it obviously means a lot to have his support," Pratt shared.
He added that Schwarzenegger's approval holds special value due to his own admiration for the actor's iconic roles.
"I dreamed of being Commando and dreamed of being the soldier from 'Predator', and I loved 'Terminator'," Pratt said.
"So him to give me kudos for going out and being on the marquee is really kind of mind-blowing," he added.
In a previous interview with People magazine, Schwarzenegger himself spoke about his joy in being a grandfather.
"It's a fun thing, because I didn't know how good I would be. But I have the animals, so it's an easy thing," Schwarzenegger said.
He described teaching his granddaughter Lyla to feed horses, sharing a glimpse into the simple pleasures he enjoys with his family.
As Chris Pratt and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt, prepare to welcome their third child, the bond between family members continues to shine brightly.
The couple, who married in June 2019, also share Pratt's 11-year-old son Jack from his previous marriage to Anna Faris.
