Wynonna Judd spent her holiday season alongside her granddaughter!

The country singer, 61, shared a few photos on her Instagram last week, as she rounded up her holiday season, which included some rare shots of her granddaughter Kaliyah, 3. In one photo, Judd's granddaughter could be seen drawing a picture of a Christmas tree with markers.

A second photo of the toddler showed Kaliyah wearing a matching purple set and standing alongside a horse. The animal had a festive Santa hat on and an ivy wreath as Kaliyah posed next to it. "‘Tis the season! Miss you all. ❤️," Judd wrote in her caption.

Judd became a grandmother after her daughter, Grace Kelley, welcomed Kaliyah in March 2022.

In January, Judd co-hosted Today with Jenna & Friends and opened up about what life looks like for her as she's been raising her granddaughter. The musician has been caring for her granddaughter after her daughter was arrested multiple times.

"I don’t have a computer. I don’t watch television unless it’s planned ‘cause I’m raising my 2½-year-old granddaughter, I listen to her," Judd shared on the show at the time. "So I don’t really, I do a lot of Instagram."

Jenna Bush Hager then asked if Judd watches any kids' TV shows, such as Bluey, with her granddaughter. Judd said that while Kaliyah isn't interested in the animated show, she does like Ms. Rachel, and Judd joked, "I’m about to lose my mind."

"Listen, I have three kids switch to — now I like Ms. Rachel, nothing wrong with Ms. Rachel," Bush Hager responded.

"I do too. I just can’t talk like that. I wish I could be that animated, but I just don’t know how," Judd joked, with the two women later agreeing that they like Peppa Pig.

Then in May, Judd appeared on Circle Country and spoke about losing her mom, Naomi Judd, to suicide at the age of 76 on April 30, 2022. During the episode, the musician also shared that bonding with her granddaughter, Kaliyah, has been a light in the darkness for her.

"What do you do with that kind of crap that happens to you? You feel so helpless, and there’s a mystery there as to why. So I had to go through that, like you did, right?" Judd said to host Clint Black, whose father also died by suicide.

The musician went on to say that they didn't know how much her mother was struggling because she was a "light to everyone else." But on the inside, she was "crumbling."

"And it’s just a weird time. This past year, I’ve learned so much about myself, and now that I’m with my grandbaby 24/7, I’m learning that there is life after death," said Judd of her granddaughter Kaliyah. "And if I can go out on this tour, this is heavy, and I can go out on stage, and I can help someone decide to stay instead of leaving, then I've done my job."

"And I just know that what we’re going through after our parents’ death is, I’m now an orphan. I have to decide whether the cup is half full or half empty," she added.
