JINGER Duggar reunited with her mom Michelle, her sister Jana, and other siblings on a family visit to LA despite her holiday snub.
The Counting On star neglected to stop by her parent’s Arkansas home for Christmas despite leaving LA for the season.
However, any animosity seemed dissipated as Jinger, 28, welcomed her family with open arms as they visited her in the California hotspot.
The reality star was spotted on a casual stroll on Tuesday morning with her mom Michelle, 55, sister Jana, 32, and brothers Jason, 21, and James, 20.
The group was all smiles as they soaked up the sun and attended church after arriving the night before.
The controversial family appeared upbeat despite the drama that has plagued their family in the last several months, namely 33-year-old Josh Duggar’s child sex abuse case.
Michelle wore a traditional black skirt with leggings underneath, a long-sleeved striped shirt, and her signature curly brown locks tied in a scrunchie.
Jinger went for a more modern look in black jeans, combat boots, and a short-sleeved tan top.

Older sister Jana kept it simple in black denim, a white tee-shirt, and matching sneakers.
The family chatted after their morning service before heading to grab lunch at fast-food joint In N Out.
Afterward, Jinger and her family made their way to an auto repair shop before heading back for the evening.
Michelle’s visit came as a bit of a shock, as her California-based daughter made no effort to visit the family for the holidays.
HOLIDAY SNUB
The young mother snubbed her parents and siblings by heading out for an East Coast ski trip instead of settling in Arkansas for Christmas.
Jinger has chosen to distance herself from her family in recent months after her brother’s shocking child pornography case and guilty charge.
Despite the entire Duggar clan convening at the family compound in Arkansas, the podcast host and her husband Jeremy, 33, instead headed to Pennsylvania with their daughters to be with her in-laws for the holidays.
The couple shared photos on social media of their quiet getaway, which included card games, skiing, shopping, train rides, and indulging in Whoopie pies.
The festivities kicked off with an outing through Jeremy’s hometown of Downingtown, where they also celebrated Jinger’s 28th birthday.
The mother of two shared photos of the pair enjoying the day, captioning the post: “Breakfast at the Coffee Cup Restaurant. Dutch Haven for soft pretzels and Whoopie pie.”
The following day, Jeremy took to the platform to show the family-of-four’s gorgeous view as they walked through a farm.
He reminisced about the special location in the caption, writing: “Exploring one of my favorite childhood destinations: Springton Manor Farm.
“Would spend hours here with my family, usually on my dad’s days off, exploring, fishing, and getting lost with my brother and sister. A bit nostalgic coming back now with the girls.”
Despite spending so much time on the east coast, Jinger decided not to visit her family in Arkansas during her stay.
Jana Duggar shared a series of loving videos on Instagram of herself, James, Jessa, and Joy-Anna celebrating the holiday with their families at their Tontitown, Arkansas home.
GUILTY AS CHARGED
Those in attendance were all smiles as they seemingly tried to put the drama from the past few months behind them.
Josh was found guilty earlier in December after a nearly two-week-long trial.
The ex-reality star faces 20 years in prison for each count.
Jinger and Jeremy gave a joint statement following the verdict, saying: “We are thankful to God for exposing Josh’s actions and to a legal system committed to protecting the innocent and punishing the guilty in this case.
“We are grateful for justice. We are praying for further justice, vindication, protection, and healing for all those who have been wronged.”
Jinger and her hubby share two daughters, Felicity, three, and Evangeline, one.
