19 Kids and Counting's Joseph Duggar marks 20th birthday

19 Kids and Counting star and Duggar number 7 Joseph Duggar recently celebrated his 20th birthday, and the Duggar family is once again overflowing with heartfelt messages and well-wishes for the birthday celebrant.

Birthdays are a big deal in the Duggar household and the family created a collage of photos for Joseph on their blog. The collage featured snapshots of a smiling-faced Joseph sharing special moments with the rest of the Duggar family.

They also posted on their Instagram account (@duggarfam) a photo of Joseph carrying a young girl and praised him for the goodness of his heart.

"Today, we are celebrating a very special young man's birthday! Joe's tender heart, overflowing with such compassion & hope is merely a reflection of his first & most important relationship with Jesus! We are so thankful for you! Happy Birthday, Joseph!" the caption read.

Last December, Jinger celebrated her 21st birthday and the family also went all out with special greetings for her. Jessa posted on her Instagram account (@jessaseewald) a picture of Jinger and captioned it, "Happy golden birthday to my sweet sister Jinger! I love you so much!"

On Facebook, the family posted a photo of Jinger holding up a "Happy Birthday Jinger" greeting made with colourful letterings with Michelle. "Today, December 21st is Jinger's 21st birthday. We are so thankful for her love for Jesus and her sweet personality. She is precious to us in every way!" the caption read.

Meanwhile on Instagram, they posted an old baby picture of Jinger and gushed, "Cute little Jinger! Can't believe she's all grown up... Today we're celebrating her 21st birthday! Such a beautiful young lady - inside and out!"

Jessa celebrated her 22nd birthday last November just a few days after her wedding. Her birthday was a low-key affair, which was quite a turnaround from her wedding with over 1,000 guests.
