President Donald Trump has enjoyed a belated Thanksgiving dinner at Mar-a-Lago with The First Lady and his sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, after spending the actual holiday serving up turkey to troops in Afghanistan. 

Donald Jr. took to Instagram to share a snap of the festivities which took place on Friday night, just hours after the Commander-in-chief returned home to Florida following his whirlwind visit to the Middle East. 

'Squad goals. Fun dinner with @realdonaldtrump and @FLOTUS last night,' Donald Jr. captioned the image, which showed him standing proudly between his father and girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle. 

The picture also reveals that Eric's wife, Lara, was also present at the lavish dinner. 

However, the President's daughter, Ivanka, and son-in-law, Jared, were absent from the festivities.  

Donald Jr. continued his lengthy caption by spruiking the importance of his father's trip to Afghanistan. 

'It was great to see him for a belated family dinner, because while we all missed him at Thanksgiving, he was doing something more important... having dinner with our incredible troops in Afghanistan,' he wrote. 

The 'Triggered: How The Left Thrives on Hate and Wants To Silence Us' author added: 'Always thankful for family and time spent together'.

He made no mention of Ivanka's absence - although the Special Advisor to the President was likely spending the holidays with the Kushner family.  

Ivanka shared her own social media snaps of her three children celebrating Thanksgiving, but made no mention of where the photos were taken. 

Meanwhile, one guest at Mar-a-Lago told DailyMail.com that the President appeared in high spirits at the family dinner. 

'It was a full house [at Mar-a-Lago] and everyone was happy to see President Trump after his trip,' the diner explained. 

'People kept coming up to his table to say hello and wish him and his family a Happy Thanksgiving.'

The guest added that Trump 'looked great after doing all that travel and Melania, Kimberly and Lara looked stunning.'

'They all seemed to be in great spirits and enjoying their time together as a family.'

Meanwhile, on Saturday, Trump didn't allow himself a holiday sleep-in, seen departing Mar-a-Largo in the early morning for a round of golf. 

In snaps obtained by DailyMail.com, the Commander-in-chief was pictured taking a phone call in the back of his vehicle while en route to the green.  

Trump returned earlier on Friday from his 36-hour whirlwind trip to Afghanistan, where he served U.S. troops a Thanksgiving dinner and met with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani to discuss reopening talks with the Taliban.

Air Force One landed at the Palm Beach International Airport early Friday morning to return the president to his Thanksgiving holiday. . 

He looked weary after the 13 hour flight but spent seven hours at his Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach.

Trump made a quick stop at his Mar-a-Lago residence after he landed from his Afghanistan trip before heading to his golf club, where he was spotted on the phone during the eight minute drive. 

Trump is scheduled to be in Florida through Sunday for Thanksgiving, his first holiday in the state after changing his residence from New York.

'Just returned to the United States after spending a GREAT Thanksgiving with our Courageous American Warriors in Afghanistan!,' he tweeted a few hours after he landed in the Sunshine State. 

His trip to Afghanistan was clouded in secrecy so it wouldn't be revealed ahead of time - as was his Christmas 2018 visit to troops in Iraq - and had many moving parts, including a decoy plane and tweets preset to send from the president's account so there would no suspicion if the twitterer-in-chief went silent.

Reporters traveling with the president were not allowed to reveal his trip and location until shortly before he was preparing to leave.   

The president left Florida Wednesday night and flew to Joint Base Andrews and, from there, on to Afghanistan in a trip that was unannounced for security reasons. 

He spent just over three and a half hours on the ground in his first visit to Afghanistan.

'There is nowhere that I'd rather celebrate this Thanksgiving than right here with the toughest, strongest best and bravest warriors on the face of the Earth,' Trump told the soldiers at Bagram Air Field. 

'We flew 8331 miles to be here tonight for one simple reason, to tell you in person that this Thanksgiving is a special Thanksgiving,' Trump said in his remarks. 'We're doing so well. Our country is the strongest economically it has ever been.'

He also talked about his campaign promise to end needless wars that he says America is involved in.

'I want peace more than anybody,' he said.  

'We are winning like we haven't won in a long time,' he claimed.  

He also vowed to bring American troops home.

'We will continue to work tirelessly until the day when we can bring each and every one of you home and safe to your family - and that day is coming,' he added.
