PREMIUM EXCLUSIVE: Mama June was reunited with all her of her four daughters for the first time in SIX years as the entire realty TV family got together for a baby shower. June, 41, real name June Shannon, joined daughters Lauryn Efrid (aka Pumpkin), Jessica Shannon, 24, (aka Chubbs), Anna Cardwell, 26, (aka Chickadee) and Alana Thompson, 15, (aka Honey Boo Boo) for Pumpkin’s baby shower. The emotional reunion took place in the back yard of eight-month-pregnant Pumpkin’s home in Gordon, Georgia where more than 50 guests gathered for the celebration. Lauryn, who stars in Mama June: Road to Redemption, 21, is expecting her second child, a boy, with husband Joshua Efrid. The baby is due on July 25 and will be their second as the couple already have daughter Ella Grace, three. Excited Lauryn said: “There were about 50 people here with a water slide. We didn’t do a cake so we decided to do individually wrapped cookies because of the Covid situation.” The expectant couple had a sign covered in balloons that featured a quote from Winnie the Pooh saying: “Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.” And the girls’ mother June was also delighted to have her daughters close by her again. She said: “I haven’t seen all the girls together at once because the relationship with Anna has always been difficult because of my mother. “I wanted to be in the right frame of mind to be able to deal with Anna as it’s always been a touchy subject. “But seeing her and her daughter Kaitlyn was great. She is still with the same boyfriend and it was a little weird to see them. “But I did what I call “roll call” with all the girls being there. “I’m still trying to process that Pumpkin is having a boy and what we are going to do with a boy? “In my family I only have girls so we all are going to be learning how to take care of a boy. But we will figure it out as a family like always.”. 06 Jun 2021 Pictured: June Shannon, 41, AKA Mama June, and daughters Lauryn Efrid (aka Pumpkin), Jessica Shannon, 24, (aka Chubbs), Anna Cardwell, 26, (aka Chickadee) and Alana Thompson, 15, (aka Honey Boo Boo).
