Brace yourselves Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar! Another one of your 19 kids is growing up fast!

Jinger Duggar celebrated another special birthday Sunday afternoon and her family couldn't help but shower her with love.

"Today, December 21st is Jinger's 21st birthday," the family's Facebook post read. "We are so thankful for her love for Jesus and her sweet personality. She is precious to us in every way!"

Before you admire Jinger's grown-up look (look at that eye makeup!), her parents also had a little fun at their daughter's expense by posting a throwback picture to when she was just a little girl.

"Cute little Jinger!" the family shared on Twitter with a baby picture. "Such a beautiful young lady—inside and out!"

And even though Jessa Duggar is busy celebrating seven weeks of marriage to Ben Seewald this weekend, the TLC star couldn't help but make time to wish her younger sister the best.

"Happy golden birthday to my sweet sister Jinger!" she posted on Instagram after attending church with her husband. "I love you so much!"

Once the birthday celebrations end, Jinger can count on an even bigger party for Christmas.

In a recent blog for TLC, Michelle revealed her brood's annual traditions for the religious holiday.

"It's a huge celebration…we make it a really big deal," she shared. "We decorate. It's a big birthday party for Jesus. We make banners and put them all around the house and put out our nativity scene."

Looks like Jinger has a lot to look forward to in the days and weeks to come!
