Pictures: A Keller Thanksgiving

Josh and Anna Duggar and their kids spent Thanksgiving in Florida with Anna's family, the Kellers. The gathering took place at the home of Anna's parents, Mike and Suzette Keller. All of Anna's seven siblings and their families attended, minus Anna's sister Esther, who is a missionary to Zambia with her husband and children. Scroll down to view photos.

Every years at Christmastime, the Kellers dress up in costumes and act out Luke 2, which tells the story of Jesus' birth.

  6. Duggar Family, I love all of you and thankyou for all you do to serve Jesus and each other. I am raising two wonderful daughters we brought home from Korea and we all feel apart of your family.As a parent I understand the public part of your work is terribly hard at times. May I encourage you to keep up the fight, as there are families just like mine who adore you and appreciate all you do, even if you never hear from us. Our reward is in heaven waiting.
    Love you all Hubbards

  7. Just a hint: Suzanna's hand sign in the first picture does not mean 'Peace' in Europe. It refers to lady parts starting with a V. If it is different in the US - fine with me but here it is considered extremely rude. To indicate peace you would have to turn the hand, so that you see its back and others see all your fingers.

  8. At first look, I thought "gee Anna"s hair has gotten lighter and the other girl looks like Anna." Then I realized that was Anna's sister I was looking at, not Anna :)

  16. All her sisters are so pretty.I feel bad that the Kellers have to go through the same false rumors that the Duggars freuently have to endure.Their faith keeps them strong, I'm not sure that I could take it so well.Maybe if people didnt believe everything they read...just come to Lily and Ellie's site if yor want the facts. Thanks Ladies and have a verry Merry ChristmasO:-)

  17. Looks like a lot of fun! Love the pic of Anna with her sisters.
    I guess the V sign (palm inwards) isn't a rude gesture in the US! In the UK palm outwards means victory/peace but palm inwards means something completely different!

  18. Noelle is wearing leggings under a dress. I just can't understand why you and so many others are so hung up on the skirt/dress thing! Dresses are the most comfortable, cool and FEMININE things to wear! If YOU choose differently, so be it but really, it's getting old!

  19. Looks like they all had a fun time in Florida! So fun to have cousins to play with at large gatherings!

  21. Does Anna have THREE brothers? Who are they? Don't know much about those guys. Are two still living at home, what are their ages and what are they doing? Thank you

  22. It sweet to see the Kellers accept some of their childrens decision not to live the same way they do and still they love and support them.

  23. Ever wonder which Duggar is the most likely to be forgotten when people list off the children's names? I forgot Jason first altogether and then his name. I think it is because he is in the middle.
    But I do not think I will ever forget him now.

  28. Why is it awesome noelle is wearing pants? Strange response.

  29. Beautiful family and their grandkids are absolutely adorable! I love these pics as the Keller's home looks so down to earth and welcoming. I also love the fact the men are pitching in and doing the clean up!! It is remarkable how much Anna looks like her one sister {Susanna, I think}.They are all very lovely though.

  30. I don't understand why they are putting leggings under a skirt or dress. They obviously know that these are more modest than skirts at times. They just don't want to admit that their females are wearing pants-like clothing. Get over it, just put some nice female slacks, jeans or longer shorts on and move on...it's no sin nor is it "men's attire". Just not always practical, flattering or weather-friendly.
    When I was a little, girls were not allowed to wear pants to public school. Up north it was freezing in the winter and even with leotards underneath, that cold breeze went up your skirt and it was C.O.L.D. Pants were warmer, hands down.

  31. Wow. Some really unkind and ignorant comments about Susanna. Don't you think she might read this blog?. Not sure why they are even being posted.

  32. It was wonderful that they did a dual celebration and included the nativity pageant too. The children are so cute all dressed in parts of the scene. And good for the adults to all take parts too.

  33. I've been studying Leviticus 5:1-19 & James 5:1-20. Need some assistance for clarification ie; understanding. Thank you if you have time to help clarify. God Bless each and everyone of you. I love you Godly values and family values. I recently had to stay away from my adult children for a year and it was the most difficult thing I've ever had to do. However, I believe with all the things that have happened with my illness and my husband's illness God was holding us close and we've made it and will be heading home by March. So the foundation of my life is God and I've always had this mighty foundation. Bless the Lord for putting you all where you are helping others. :-)

  34. I cannot get over people's issues with them wearing dresses. Dresses and tights are much warmer than jeans. They are also not as stiff and binding. Leggings are awesome with dresses. Warmth and lady like. My church allows jeans but some of us still wore a dress to an outdoor Christmas activity. We were nice and comfy while the jeans group was freezing. Don't knock it. It is an awesome choice.

  35. I wear skirts with leggings during the winter with just below the knee boots. It's stylish and warm. It is actually warmer than just jeans which I also wear.

  36. Awesome!! Sounds like lots of fun!! Family time is the best!!

  37. Hello. I watch the Duggers every chance I get. I love that family. By the way, Keller is an unusual last name which happens to be my maiden name! My dad was a Keller and they are from the North Carolina mountains. Just wondering......it is a small world.

    I agree . I don't see the point in the comment about the peace sign. Totally uncalled for. Why does anyone care what people choose to wear? They are a food family sharing The Lord with the world and people complain. If they were a not so great family doing bad things someone would find reason to complain. Just accept the goodness in the world and stop trying to find ANYHING to complain about. Just accept and love people because that's what we are suppose to do in the first place . AMEN!

  41. I'm French and for me she is making the same sign that pepole used to make during the second world war: a V for victory.
