One special turkey was definitely saying “Yes we cran” this Thanksgiving.
On Nov. 23, President Barack Obama couldn’t help but have a good time as he pardoned a turkey at the White House. His cutie-pie nephews Austin and Aaron Robinson, along with National Turkey Federation chairman John Reicks, were by his side for the annual event. Although the occasion marked his final Thanksgiving as President, Obama claimed he won’t stop the tradition when he leaves office: “No way I am cutting this habit cold turkey,” he joked.

A few days after Barack Obama crushed his last Thanksgiving turkey pardon with hilarious puns ("I'm cutting this habit cold turkey"), his wife, Michelle Obama, kicked off the holiday season by welcoming the family's Christmas tree to the White House. Michelle, who was joined by her adorable nephews, Austin and Aaron Robinson, and her dogs, Bo and Sunny, looked excited as she was presented the 19-foot balsam fir tree by Dave and Mary Vander Velden of Oconto, Wi, at the North Portico of the White House on Friday. Sadly, Sasha and Malia weren't in attendance to see their family's last Christmas tree at the White House being brought in, but we're sure they'll probably decorate it while drinking hot chocolate and listening to festive music this weekend.

Every year, the president of the United States pardons the national Thanksgiving turkey in front of an audience, and President Obama has always made sure it's an event to remember. Last year, he embarrassed daughters Sasha and Malia with the dad joke of the century, and this year - his last year in office - he decided to double down on his so-bad-they're-good one-liners while standing next to his adorable nephews (who "still believe in bad puns"), Austin and Aaron Robinson. Watch the video below (starting at the 28:30 mark) to see him speak for yourself, and if you can't wait, skip ahead to every incredible dad joke from his last turkey pardoning speech. "Thanksgiving is as much a family holiday as it is a national one, so for the past seven years, I've established another tradition: embarrassing my daughters with a corny-copia of dad jokes about turkeys." "This year,...

"Thanksgiving is a family holiday as much as a national one, so for the past seven years, I've established another tradition: embarrassing my daughters with a corny-copia of dad jokes about turkeys," Obama explained. "This year, they had a scheduling conflict… actually they just couldn't take my jokes anymore. They were fed up."
"Fortunately, I have by my side, here today, two of my nephews, Austin and Aaron Robinson, who unlike Malia and Sasha, have not yet been turned cynical by Washington. They still believe in bad puns. They still appreciate...
