Mackenzie posted a pic out to eat with her kids, Jagger, 5, and Stella, 4, along with her son from a previous relationship, Hudson, 9.
The 27-year-old knelt beside her two youngest as they all gathered inside a Cracker Barrell.
All four smiled broadly, as mama Mackenzie wrapped her arms around them, holding them close.
Ryan spent his holidays in and out of court, culminating on Tuesday, when a judge revoked the reality star’s probation after several earlier setbacks in December.

The fellow Teen Mom alum has faced a variety of counts of drug possession, driving under the influence and harassment over the past year.
PAST CHARGES
The U.S. Sun previously reported Ryan found himself in trouble again during a December 5 court hearing after District Attorney Coty Wamp said the star failed to follow the terms of his plea deal.
On his December 8 hearing, it was established that the MTV star had passed his drug test but failed to fulfil other terms of his probation.
Judge Gary Starnes initially seemed in favor of a firm sentence for Ryan, saying of the drug test: “There was plenty of time for him to get it out of his system from the time took the test.”

He also said: “I don’t know how many more opportunities Mr. Edwards is entitled to.
“He has failed to do what he’s supposed to. He’s been revoked and put in jail for almost three months. He’s had violations at Oasis and CADAS, but they didn’t kick him out.”
The judge demanded of Ryan’s counsel: “He wants to stand here and ask for more time to do it. How many more chances does Mr. Edwards think he’s going to get?
“What do you think when he doesn’t follow the program? He has gotten so many chances and every single time he got an opportunity to do things he should’ve been doing. Now he’s back again.”
PROBATION REVOKED
After the hearing, District Attorney Coty filed a Petition to Revoke Defendant’s Probation.
Court papers exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun read: “The Defendant is currently on probation for Harassment, Possession of a Controlled Substance, and Driving Under the Influence.
“On each of these charges, Defendant Edwards was sentenced to 11 months and 29 days, each ordered to run consecutively to one another, for an effective sentence of three years on Hamilton County Probation.”
The court papers then mention his Continuing Care Contract, which is part of his plea deal, where he agreed to: “1. Attend four 12-step support groups per week. 2. Attend Aftercare Group meetings either on Tuesdays or Thursdays each month for a period of 12 months. 3. Keep counseling plus vivitrol appointments, the next one scheduled for 11-17-2023.
“Furthermore, the defendant agreed to ‘submit a comprehensive report for follow-up treatment to the court.'”
The court papers continued: “The Defendant has failed to complete any of the above recommendations that Defendant agreed to complete as part of Defendant’s plea agreement.”
The document also notes Ryan is required to take monthly drug screenings, with his last drug screen taken immediately after he was discharged from treatment with a negative result.
He had not been drug screened again until Monday, December 4.
