Anna Duggar helped her “best friend” Josh celebrate his birthday by throwing a party at his parents’ house in Tontitown, Arkansas.
On Tuesday, 31-year-old Anna took to Instagram to share a few photos and videos from the family event. In the caption of her post, she also noted that her husband was turning 32 years old on the same day many Americans were heading out to vote in Super Tuesday primaries.
Anna’s post included a colorful family snapshot that was taken in the kitchen of the large home owned by Josh’s mother and father, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. Numerous gifts and balloons covered the kitchen island, which could be seen behind the group of partiers.
Anna dressed up for the occasion in a vibrant red floral print dress. She was pictured holding their youngest son, 2-year-old Mason. The smiling toddler rocked a multicolored plaid shirt. Josh stood next to his wife while sporting a blue checkered, button-up shirt. His baby daughter, 3-month-old Maryella, slept in his arms while wearing a cream dress, tan boots, and a headband topped with a pink bow.
Josh had his hand on the shoulder of his oldest daughter, 10-year-old Mackynzie. She and her 4-year-old sister, Meredith, were sporting matching charcoal gray T-shirts decorated with sequined rainbow hearts. In response to one of her followers’ questions, Anna revealed that the T-shirts came from Sam’s Club.
Michael, who is 8 years old, was standing behind Meredith while sporting a bright blue polo shirt. His 6-year-old brother Marcus was wearing a version of the same shirt in red.
Anna’s post included a photo of Michael lighting one of the three tall, twisty candles that had been stuck inside an open tub of ice cream. In the next image, Anna held up a can of whipped cream as a large group of children eagerly waited to get their ice cream. A tray full of toppings, including gummy bears, nuts, cookies, and hard-shelled candies, also sat on the kitchen island.
Anna also shared two videos of the family singing “Happy Birthday” to Josh. Jim Bob gave a little speech first, and Marcus was awarded the honor of blowing out the candles on his father’s birthday ice cream. Afterward, Josh thanked his family.
None of Josh’s adult siblings made appearances in any of Anna’s photos and videos. However, his sister Jessa’s sons were two of the young guests at his party. Jim Bob held 3-year-old Henry, and 4-year-old Spurgeon stood beside his 12-year-old aunt, Jennifer.
As noted by The Daily Mail , Jessa was one of the Duggar sisters Josh molested when he was a teenager. She has said that she has forgiven her brother, and she appears to be on friendly terms with his wife.
As previously reported by The Inquisitr , Jessa and Anna were part of the large group of female family members who recently met up at a Panera Bread to spend time together. However, it was Jessa’s older sister and fellow molestation victim, Jill, that many fans were happy to see because Jill’s husband, Derick Dillard, had said his wife is not allowed to visit her parents’ house unless her father is there. No members of Jill and Derick’s family of four made appearances in the photos and videos from Josh’s birthday party.
