Nowadays, "Teen Mom 2" cast Jenelle Evans keeps herself busy with managing her own clothing and cosmetic line. However, she recently shared with her followers a peek into her Thanksgiving celebration through an Instagram post. While the celebration was the usual family reunion, fans noted that Jace, Evans' eldest son, was absent.

Evans' mother, Barbara, has legal custody of Jace because Evans was deemed incapable of taking care of her son. However, as years passed, there grew a custody battle that has dragged on for years since the initial turning-over of the custody.

Evans did not get to celebrate Thanksgiving with his eldest son because currently, Jace's legal custody is decided by court schedule. The child will be spending the holidays with his grandmother, as the court schedule has already ruled that Jace is to be with Barbara on the day of Thanksgiving.

Still, the celebrations went on. Evans extended her Thanksgiving greetings to her followers via an Instagram post, which showed her posing with her husband David Eason and their children Ensley, Kaiser, and Maryssa.

Meanwhile, Barbara herself posted a photo that showed how she celebrated Thanksgiving with her son Colin and grandson Jace.

Evans has been controversial for her drug use even throughout her pregnancies, which led to her fighting several custody battles for her children. One such battle, for the legal custody of baby Kaiser, has recently been put on hold because of the health problems of the people involved.

Meanwhile, the websites for Evans' clothing and cosmetic line are still up and taking orders. Although her "Teen Mom 2" co-stars made fun of the cosmetic line at first, the products proved to be a success. The products were sold out on the first day.
