Sisters Jessa and Jill Duggar quelled fighting rumours by posting photos of them fellowshipping with each other this week.

Rumours of a Duggar feud began brewing last week, but the family was all smiles in photos posted to their social media accounts on Monday.

The alleged trouble began after bloggers discovered that Jill doesn't follow Jessa on Twitter, although Jessa is following Jill's account.

In supposed retaliation, Jessa's husband, Ben Seewald, allegedly unfollowed Jill's husband, Derick Dillard, on Twitter.

The newlywed couples have not responded to rumours that the sisters were fighting, and they spent Monday night together.

First, the Dillards had the Seewalds over for a dinner of beans and cornbread, and shared the photo on the Duggar Family Blog.

Jill also posted the photo to her Instagram account, and tagged her sister and brother-in-law in the caption.

"@jessaseewald and @ben_seewald are here for dinner!" she wrote. "So fun to hang out with our siblings! #familydinner #19kids #beansandcornbread."

After dinner, the couples went to the Duggar family home for a Christmas recital presented by the younger Duggar children.

Jedidiah, Joy-Anna, and Jeremiah played "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," and Justin, James, and Jason played "Pat-A-Pan," a French Christmas carol. All of the children performed with string instruments.

Family friend Mandie Query joined Joy-Anna for a piano duet called "Duet Fantasy on Jingle Bells" in what has become an annual event for the Duggar family.

"The Duggar kids have been playing Christmas recitals for most of their lives," a blog post for the family wrote, sharing pictures of Jinger, Joy, Jedidiah, Jason, Jeremiah, and Josiah from their 2010 Springdale Music Club Piano Ensemble Performance.

Duggar fans can watch all of the action Tuesdays at 9pm ET on "19 Kids & Counting," only on TLC.
