For Jake Owen and wife Lacey, this Thanksgiving was an especially blessed day: They welcomed new daughter Olive Pearl. Born in Nashville, the couple's first child weighed 6 pounds, 3 ounces and will go by "Pearl," a nod to Jake's godmother who passed away shortly after Jake and Lacey learned they were expecting.

"Lacey and I are so excited to start our own family," Jake said in a statement. "We are looking forward to teaching Pearl everything we learned from our parents and also learning from her."

The proud father, sporting a bushy beard, even shared a photo of his little girl on Twitter. 

Today is the greatest day of my life, Jake tweeted. Welcome Olive Pearl Owen. 6lbs 3 oz Turkey Baby!!! Happy Thanksgiving
