During the nearly 13-minute video, Jeremiah Duggar began baking funnel cakes with the others while his wife Hannah carried their daughter Brynley Noelle in her arms.

James turned the camera on his sister-in-law Kendra Duggar, 23, who was having a snowball fight with their daughter Addison.

Though fans loved seeing the group “share their lives with us,” the moms noted that siblings Jessa Duggar, 29, and Joy-Anna Duggar, 25, “have stepped back a little now.”

Followers have speculated that the Counting On graduates had a falling out with their parents Jim Bob, 57, and Michelle Duggar, 56.

CAST SHADOWS

In December 2022, Joy-Anna held a Christmas Time Q&A session with her fans.

One fan asked, “What are some name ideas for this baby?”

Joy-Anna – who is pregnant with her third child – admitted: “Just to give you a little taster, we definitely use James as either a first name or a middle name.

“I think it will probably be used as a middle name.”

Referring to her husband Austin Forsyth, she said his “papaw passed away a few years ago.”

“And he told him before he died that our next boy would contain ‘James.’ He agreed that we would do that.”

Joy-Anna concluded: “We’re going to meddle James somewhere.

“His name was Edwin James Forsyth and it was about using his name and honoring him in that way.”

Fans suggested that using the name James was not in honor of her father, Jim Bob.

Joy-Anna and Austin are parents to two children: Gideon, four, and Evelyn, two.

THE SEX DISCOVERY PARTY

Meanwhile, sister Jessa was absent from Joy-Anna’s gender reveal party.

Despite a large crowd of family and friends showing up to celebrate, Jessa was noticeably absent as her parents rarely showed up.

Jim Bob and Michelle suspected that Joy-Anna’s unborn child would be a girl.

Jessa is already a mother to four children with husband Ben Seewald, 27: Spurgeon, seven; Henry, five; ivy, three; and far, one.

‘LOOK TWICE’

In July 2022, Jessa clapped back at a troll after posting an Instagram photo of her father with his granddaughter Fern.

Jessa captioned the post: “Had a wonderful time celebrating these birthday friends yesterday! I love them both very much!”

One troll replied, “Blink twice when your parents make you write these posts.”

Jessa replied: “I deeply love and appreciate my parents.

“I know I have my own flaws, just like them, but we choose to show mercy to one another and we have a wonderful relationship.

She concluded: “If you can’t handle this, feel free to move on.”
