The First Family celebrated the holiday early, helping serve meals to residents at the Armed Services Retirement Home in Washington, D.C.
Last year, both daughters were present to join their family in serving dinner at the Friendship Place homeless center, but this year Malia Obama was not in attendance.

Earlier in the day, Obama participated in his final turkey pardoning, recruiting his adorable nephews to help him.
