Jinger Duggar snubs family by returning to LA after east coast visit WITHOUT stopping by parents’ home in Arkansas
JINGER Duggar skipped out on visiting her family after spending time on the east coast with her husband Jeremy and their two kids.
The Counting On alum opted to not join the Duggars for their annual Christmas bash as she's been distancing herself from her family in recent months.
Jinger and Jeremy, 33, instead headed to Pennsylvania with their daughters to be with her in-laws for the holidays.
The couple has been sharing 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.
Jinger shared enjoying the day, captioning the post: "Breakfast at the Coffee Cup Restaurant. Dutch Haven for soft pretzels and Whoopie pie."
The following day, Jeremy 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: "He captioned the post: "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."

Jinger later shared photos of the pair playing Uno with Jeremy's parents while sitting around the kitchen table.
The reality stars also had fun in the snow during a trip to the Blue Mountain Resort in the Poconos Mountains.
Jinger captured some of the pair dressed in their winter attire while riding a ski lift followed by two videos of them skiing down a hill.
The TLC star's slides concluded with a snap of Jeremy lying in the snow as he donned a serious expression.
Jinger captioned the post: “We went skiing yesterday and left with no broken bones. I’d say that’s a success.
“Pictured: one of Jer’s many wipeouts at least he struck a good pose.”
The celebrations continued leading into the new year as the TV star shared snaps of her at the historic Strasburg Rail Road.
One snap captured their daughters, Felicity, three, and Evangeline, one, from behind looking out the windows of the train, while their mother also gave an inside view of their ride in another clip.
She simply captioned the post with a train emoji, garnering attention from some of her siblings in the comments.
Her sister Jill, 30, responded to the post: "So cool!," while her other sis Jessa, 29, replied: "So magical!"
SEPARATE CHRISTMAS'
The train ride seemed to be the last stop on their vacation as Jeremy shared a pic on his Instagram Stories of his view from his classroom back in California.
The beautiful snap showcased the morning sky overlooking the courtyard where he included the caption: "Decent views coming out of class"
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.
Those in attendance were all smiles as they seemingly tried to put the drama from the past few months behind them after the oldest Duggar sibling, Josh, 33, was found guilty of child pornography charges.
'GRATEFUL FOR JUSTICE'
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.

"We are grateful for justice. We are praying for further justice, vindication, protection, and healing for all those who have been wronged."
