It seems all is well for the Duggar family as Jill Duggar shares photos from her reunion with her mother and sisters during her 28th birthday.

The “Counting On” star and her 52-year-old mother, Michelle, were all smiles in the photos she uploaded on Instagram. In the caption, Jill wrote that she had a fun birthday celebration with her mother and sisters.

"We pray that God bless your life as a brand-new year begins for you. Happy birthday, we love you!!!"

Jill shared a selfie with her mother as they were getting their nails done at a salon. Another photo shows Jill sharing a meal with Michelle, Jessa, Jana, Lauren, Abbie, and Anna.

Michell and Jim Bob Duggar also shared a heartwarming birthday greeting for their daughter on the family’s Facebook page.

SWEET MESSAGE FOR THEIR DAUGHTER

They shared a photo of Jill as a baby and wrote in the caption:

"Happy Birthday, Jill! On this day 28 years ago, we had a beautiful baby girl with the sweetest smile. We loved you all the more the minute we laid eyes on you. We pray that God bless your life as a brand-new year begins for you. Happy birthday, we love you!!!"

Jill and her husband Derick Dillard recently moved into their new home, sparking rumors about a possible family feud.

Speculations also swirled when many of the Duggar girls did not post Mother’s Day greetings for Michelle and Jessa and Joy-Anna Forsyth.

But the photos Jill shared should set the record straight.

CONSTANT PUBLIC SCRUTINY

Like other reality stars, the Duggar family often face controversy and criticism. Jill, for instance, has been “mom-shamed” on a few occasions.

When she posted a photo of herself and her two boys, she was judged as being a neglectful mother because the boys looked “malnourished.”

Jill is no longer on TV, but she still posts about her family on social media. While her posts are generally about her life and her children but, some of her followers somehow always find something negative to comment about her.
