After pardoning his last turkey,?? ??? ??? ?? ?? 1973 President Barack Obama has a final Thanksgiving message from the Oval Office.

In a Facebook post on Thursday morning, Obama reminisced about his daughters' growth during his family's time in the White House. He also posted photos of Malia and Sasha Obama over the past eight years.

When Obama took office, Malia was 10 and Sasha was 7. Today, Malia is 18 and Sasha is 15.

"For me, this house has served as the backdrop to the tough decisions and trying times that often characterize the Presidency. But it's also been home -- it's where Michelle and I have watched our daughters grow into the funny, smart, humble, and extraordinary young women they are today," Obama wrote.

"And when I look back over the years, what strikes me most about my girls is that, despite the challenges that have come their way, they have remained extraordinarily kind. They treat people with the respect and understanding that all of us deserve -- no matter who we are, where we come from, who we love, or what we believe. It's that bedrock belief in decency that can only come from an inherent optimism about the road ahead. And it’s what I find in all the young people I meet when I travel the country and the world."

Happy Thanksgiving, Sasha and Malia.
