The post was captioned: ‘Now that we’re a family of 5 and my life is slightly more hectic this holiday season, I’m leaning in to all the “perfectly imperfect” moments with our little ones!’ she captioned the post. 

‘With so much going on, I’m thrilled to partner with @shutterfly who made the holiday card creation process a breeze. Make something that means something this holiday. #ShutterflyPartner.’ 

The photo shoot comes just two months after Mandy and her husband welcomed daughter Lou into their lives.

Speaking with People, Mandy said she had been ‘channeling’ her role from This Is Us, mom of three Rebecca Pearson.

Speaking with People about her newly expanded family, she said: ‘I am fully channeling my Rebecca Pearson these days.’

‘I don’t know how she did it all, quite frankly,’ she added.

Mandy said she and her family were savoring their current era.

‘We’re soaking up this special moment. It just feels dreamy. Her brothers are doting and so loving and just beside themselves with how much they love her,’ she said.
