“From our family to yours, #HappyThanksgiving!” Michelle wrote in a caption that accompanied a photo the family four. Daughters Sasha and Malia Obama have grown into beautiful young women and are a far cry from the little girls who moved into the White House all those years ago. Malia was 10 and Sasha was seven when their father became president, making Sasha the youngest person to have lived in the White House since the late John F. Kennedy Jr. was a child.
Now, the girls are 21 and 18-years-old, and while Malia has been enjoying her years at Harvard University, Sasha opted to attend the University Michigan. Meanwhile, Former President Obama fered up some advice for those you who may be facing some challenging conversations over Thanksgiving dinner. “Before arguing with friends or family around the Thanksgiving table, take a look at the science behind arguing better,” he tweeted. “And it’ll never hurt to try this: ‘Listen to people, get them to think about their own experience, and highlight your common humanity.'” Check out the Obama’s family photo, along with Obama’s tweet, below.
