Donning all-white ensembles to commemorate the tradition of the holiday, the engaged duo was joined by their children -- her 12-year-old twins, Emme and Max, and his daughters, Natasha, 15, and Ella, 12 -- who all sat in different places among the branches while he stood at the base in a white long-sleeved shirt and white slacks. "Tree cheers! 🍃💚 Wishing everyone a happy and healthy Labor Day, from our family to yours," the former New York Yankee star captioned the pic. "I’m excited to be working the Cardinals-Cubs game at 4 p.m. ET today on @espn. I love holiday ⚾️!! How are you celebrating the holiday?"

"Next week, it’s back to the business of baseball for me. But as much as I have missed being around the game, I have cherished the additional time with family for these many months," he explained in July 2020. "Moments like these have no offseason. Moments like these are better than winning any championship. Moments like these are forever. ❤️ #grateful."

"Feeling super blessed and grateful to have this bunch with me today. ❤️," Rodriguez shared on Father's Day 2020.

"Watching her be a loving mom to all of our kids has been an experience I will never forget. This time at home has been challenging for so many. The hardships and uncertainty have changed how we all look at things as we search for a new normal. But in many ways it also has brought all of us closer together as families and that is a true blessing. I hope the same is true for all of you. To Jen, and to all of the moms out there: Thank you. For the sacrifices you make for your children. For the love and support you give them today and every day of their lives. You are all rockstars. #HappyMothersDay."
