Correction:An earlier version of this story may have implied that the children’s father, Thomas Ravenel, did not see them on Thanksgiving, when in fact he did. The story has been updated to accurately reflect this information.
TheSouthern Charmstar celebrated Thanksgiving on Thursday at her friend and business partner Donna Steele’s house in North Carolina.
“She has a huge family so we are going to have a big celebration,” Dennis previously told PEOPLE of her holiday plans. “You know, when your mom is gone you have to come up with new traditions.”
While Dennis didn’t share a photo with her kids, daughter Kensington Calhoun, 5, and son Saint, 3, from the gathering, the reality star shared a photo of gift tags with their names on it. She also posed in front of several gorgeous Christmas trees with Steele.
“gorgeous thanksgiving at the Steele’s! paired with a Christmas tree, of course #youalreadyknowthevibes ❄️” she wrote in her caption, clearly ready to get into the Christmas spirit.

Ravenel, 57, and Dennis, 28, have agreed to share joint legal and physical custody of Kensington and Saint, with Ravenel having “primary legal custody,” his lawyer told PEOPLE.
Their agreement comes three years after Dennis lost full custody of her children in 2016 and entered rehab after testing positive for marijuana. Ravenel, who no longer stars onSouthern Charm, was awarded full custody at the time.
