In the pictures, Jenelle, 31, posed alongside her husband David Eason, 34, and their four children at the reception.
The MTV grad wore a pink sundress and wedge heels with her long, highlighted blonde locks in loose waves.
Her teenage son Jace also dressed up for the occasion, rocking tan khaki pants, a blue and white button-down shirt and brown shoes.
The mother-son duo only took one picture of them at the party, which shows their significant size difference.
Jace – who Jenelle shares with her ex Andrew Lewis, 38 – looked several inches taller than his mother despite her heels.
In another photo, Jenelle’s eight-year-old son Kaiser, who she shares with her ex Nathan Griffith, 35, burst into the picture as he smiled while seated at the table.
Other snaps showed Jenelle snuggling up close to David while they smiled at the camera and some including their children.
Jenelle and David are parents to a seven-year-old daughter named Ensley.

Jenelle recently regained custody of Jace who was in the care of her mother, Barbara.
IT IS OFFICIAL
Last month, the former Teen Mom 2 star said, “My mom and I together decided to give me full custody back because we want to rebuild our relationship as a mother and daughter.”
“Also, my mom agrees that it’s time for Jace to be back with his siblings and live with a mom and dad.”
Jace will live with his mother and her husband David.
The Teen Mom star continued, “She also thinks it’s important for Jace to be around a father figure to learn ‘boy things’ and let ‘men talk’.
“She’s seen David raise my kids and she knows we can handle it.
“We all want to get along for the sake of the children and, like I said, rebuild our relationship as mother and daughter.
“We officially signed the papers at the courthouse on Thursday, March 16, it’s a done deal!”
Jenelle transferred custody of Jace to her mother shortly after his birth in 2009 after she faced charges of marijuana possession and burglary and burglary.
The ex-reality TV star was 17 at the time.
custody war
Jenelle and her mother Barbara, 70, entered a heated legal battle in 2016 when she tried to regain custody of their son.
She has been very vocal about Jace’s “runaway behavior,” often saying that Barbara was unable to care for the child.
In April 2021, The US Sun exclusively obtained court filings from North Carolina that said Jenelle’s son set his grandmother’s house on fire and exhibited “runaway behavior.”
According to the custody filing, Jenelle claimed there had been a “material change in circumstances affecting the best interests of the minor child” that warranted an amendment to the custody agreement.
The TV personality claimed Jace was “at risk of physical harm” in his grandmother’s care.
This incident later prompted her to file a request for emergency custody.
Jenelle claimed Jace has “progressive behavioral issues that result in him being physically aggressive, out of control, and insecure.”
The YouTuber claimed Barbara told her she “cannot control the underage child’s behavior.”
