Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are grateful to have their kids home for the holidays.
The empty nesters welcomed their three children — Joaquin, 19, Lola, 21, and Michael, 25 — home for Thanksgiving. The family, also joined by some friends, had a blast as they posed for photos together throughout the night.
Not only did the couple's kids pose for plenty of family photos, they also had fun joking around together. Posing dramatically wearing rubber gloves with her daughter, the Live host joked, "Clean up crew."
Soon after, they were joined by Michael, who joined in on the fun. "All hands on deck," the mom of three joked.

On an episode of Live with Kelly and Ryan earlier this month, the mom of three, 52, opened up about the difficulties of "adulting" as her kids join the workforce, sharing that her oldest son Michael, 25, had a hard time with his post-college job.
"Adulting is hard nowadays. It's very hard for kids. Job opportunities aren't what they were. The economy is driving this trend." said Ripa. "I know that Michael graduated college in May of 2020 and he had a writing job lined up which evaporated because the pandemic shut down the production and it just never came back."
"So, you know, we gave him a grace period of an additional year to find other job opportunities because it's hard."

"I got new glasses and then my dad texts me, 'Where did you get those glasses?' " Michael recalled. "And I'm like, 'Oh no, can you at least pick a different color?' My dad, my brother and I will be wearing the same black pants and gray shirt and I'm like, I try to look a little different than that. I like to stand out a little bit."
