We hope all our American readers had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving Day happened to be Holland Paine's 1st birthday, so the Bates clan had two reasons to celebrate. Erin and Chad also recently had new family photos taken by Taryn Yager. What an adorable family of six!

In the September season finale of Bringing Up Bates, Kelly Bates shared her struggles with gastroesophageal reflux. She has since had a procedure to help correct the issue and reveals that she is feeling so much better. You will no doubt hear more about it on the next season of the show, but in the meantime, we wanted to post this photo of the mom of 19 looking absolutely amazing!
Kelly shares an update on her health. She has
struggled with gastroesophageal reflux for years and has already had her
gallbladder removed. The frequency of her reflux, especially after having 19
children, has created pre-cancer cells in her throat. She needs another scope,
but she must first get over the coughing caused by a recent episode. “She’s
just too young and beautiful to be suffering like this,” says Gil, who is eager
to find a solution for his wife.

Zach Bates: "I say all the time, I wish that we were where y'all were at when we got married."
Whitney Bates: "You both have phenomenal careers, and you literally, I mean, you're where you should be when this time comes."
It's throwback Thursday! We're taking it back to when Josie Bates and Kelton Balka were just dating. In this clip, Zach and Whitney take them out to dinner and share some very kind words with the young couple.
Happy 7th wedding anniversary to Erin and Chad Paine! They were the first of the Bates siblings to tie the knot, followed closely by Zach and Whitney Bates in December 2013.
