Their party comes after a tumultuous time for the family as Jana pleaded not guilty following being charged with a misdemeanor count of endangering the welfare of a child.

If found guilty she faces up to three months behind bars and fines of up to $1,000.

After it came to light, she shared "raw facts", telling fans that she had been "babysitting a few months ago when one of the children wandered outside alone" and "a passerby who saw the child called the police".

"This resulted in a written citation as well as a follow up with child welfare who concluded that it was an accident and the child was unharmed," she wrote on social media, adding: "It all happened so quickly and was scary."
