Jill’s sister-in-law Anna Duggar shared photos from the family’s evening together. “We had a fun-filled family night again! We had an Asian-themed dinner ? — Jana and I made fresh spring rolls, Jessa made Indonesian fried rice ? ? (thanks @jennishartonofor teaching us!) and Jill gave us all some sushi lessons! ? ?,” she captioned them.

Jill, 27, and her husband Derick, 29, love sushi and often get it on date night, but it wasn’t a strong enough temptation to get him to come to the family event.

Last Monday, February 11, the Duggars threw an early Valentine’s Day party, which Jill and Derick did not attend. Jana told fans the couple had “prior commitments.”

While Jill made sure she made it to this week’s party, her husband sat it out. Derick is in law school, but he still usually makes time for date night with his wife.
