Olivia Dunne shared a special moment with her sister, reuniting with family over Thanksgiving as she continues to make strides amid her comeback to LSU. Leaving Baton Rouge, she returned to her home state in New Jersey.

The LSU gymnast returned to her home state with her sister Julz Dunne. The sibling duo recreated the trending "Back Home Ballers" song from Saturday Night Live.

The video also featured their mother in the song, whose lyrics are:

"We're home for thanksgiving y'all, and our parents are real happy to see us. So they're gonna treat us like queens."

The LSU gymnast's sister shared the video on social media and wrote:

"We are so back #thanksgiving."

Although Dunne has risen to fame as a social media star, much of the credit for her early content can be attributed to her sister, who played a key role in shaping her path to stardom.

In the initial days when Dunne honed her skills during the day, she and her sister worked together in the evenings, coming up with creative ideas and filming her social media content.

After earning the historic National Championship title last season, Olivia Dunne is back in the collegiate circuit to make her efforts with the other Tigers to defend the victory.

In an interview with the New York Post Sports, she exuded confidence in the team while welcoming the new talent and emphasized building bonds with them.

"Yes we we won but it's time to turn the page like it's a new year, new group of girls. It's a different team," Olivia Dunne said. "It's a new year and a new mindset and we have to rebuild bonds with new girls that are on the team and it's fun like that's part of the fun of being in college...getting to meet new people and our freshmen this year are so good at gymnastics and I just think our team is like...the raw talent of the team is incredible. So I think there's no lack of talent. It's just that we got to put all the pieces together." (1:23 onwards)
