Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson appeared to be in good spirits in her latest social media update featuring her older sister Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon-Efird and niece Ella Grace.

On Friday, the 15-year-old reality star took to Instagram to share an adorable snap she took with her 21-year-old sister and the latter’s 3-year-old daughter. Alana could be seen grinning in between the mother and daughter, who also flash smiles at the camera.

“My girls 4 life,” Honey Boo Boo captioned the post before tagging Pumpkin, who currently serves as her de-facto guardian, and niece, who has her own Instagram account that’s managed by her mom Lauryn and dad Josh Efird, 24.

In the photo, the three appear to be on a boat, with Ella sporting a blue life jacket.

Many fans couldn’t help but leave positive messages for Mama June Shannon’s daughters after seeing the heartwarming post.

“Y’all look so happy!!! Three beautiful girls. Always have each other’s backs, no matter what,” one wrote.

“Fabulous picture ladies! Love looks good on you,” another commented.

“I love seeing these big smiles on you girls. Life is hard and unfair sometimes but you girls are fighters for sure!! Love to watch you making your way thru this life,” a third user added.

Alana’s Instagram update comes about three weeks after her eldest sister, 26-year-old Anna Cardwell, slammed those who have been criticizing the young TV star’s fondness for wearing makeup, false lashes and fake nails.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, the elusive and estranged daughter of Mama June said her youngest sister is just being a normal teenager.

“Alana is a teenager who is growing up and is basically trying to find herself. She is going through what every teenager goes through,” Anna said.

“You don’t expect anything different from teens. They all want the same thing; they want to be grown up,” she added.

In May, Alana also addressed her critics by uploading a makeup-free selfie online. In the snap, the former “Toddlers & Tiaras” star was seen barefaced and sticking her tongue out. She then made it clear in her caption that she doesn’t care what the people are saying about her maturing style because “I live MY WAY.”
