Later on, Christina reflected on how Thanksgiving was a lot to handle this year.
“Hosting thanksgiving with a two and half month old and 20 people plus four crazy dogs was no joke,” she said in a video posted on her Instagram Story. “But you know what, we survive. Memories.”
Ant also documented some of the night’s highlights on his own Instagram Story, including a game of hide and seek with Brayden.
Missing out on the festivities was El Moussa, who has been on aEuropean vacationwith girlfriendHeather Rae Young.
Just last month, Christina celebratedHalloweenalongside El Moussa, with whom she stars onFlip or Flop, and their children, going trick-or-treating with them, Ant, Christina’s parents and El Moussa’s girlfriend.
“It was a lot of fun — we took the kids out and it was the first time we all got together,” El Moussa, 38,told PEOPLE exclusivelyof the gathering. “I was Marshall fromPAW Patroland then Brayden matched me. So, we were out there cruising together as twins.”
The last time the former couplecame together was for Taylor’s ninth birthdayin September, when El Moussa also brought Young, 32, along for the party.
He and Christina hadn’t yet decided if they would bring everyone back together again for the upcoming holiday season, El Moussa told PEOPLE at the time.

“I think everybody has to be on the same page,” theAnt Anstead Master Mechanicstar told the outlet of his“golden rule” to blend households. “Everybody has to be present and pulling in the same direction. That includes Tarek, it includes my ex.”
“If everybody wants the same thing,and that has to be kids first. If you prioritize kids first, it actually kind of falls into place and the rest of it makes sense,” he continued. “If you ever make a decision that doesn’t put the kids first, it is the wrong decision.”
