If _7th Heaven_ taught us anything, it’s that there’s no [greater feeling than the love of family](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLBDjpLuYaY). Also, that anything that can go wrong (in an explosive, dramatic way) will go wrong — but that it will all be neatly resolved with a few hugs and a home-cooked meal.

Now, many years later, in true Camden fashion, the _7th Heaven_ cast has reunited for one more family dinner. Stephen Collins, who played the noble patriarch and devoted minister Eric Camden, was kind enough to share a photo from what appeared to be a rather joyful reunion:

> [](https://twitter.com/StephenCollins/status/512273512468185092)

You’ll notice two major absences: their dog, [Happy](http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr%5Flj9jwvETgK1qaa163o1%5F500.gif) (R.I.P, we assume), and the youngest daughter, Ruthie (played by Mackenzie Rosman.) We’re not sure where Ruthie was, but last we heard, she was posing for _Maxim_, which, _ahem_, doesn’t exactly fit into the wholesome Camden code of conduct. (Also, the twins are missing too, but they barely count anyway.)

Don’t they kind of look like they fit together as a real family though? Besides Jessica Biel, who stands out as the hottest and most famous. She clearly won this breakup, although Barry Watson isn’t looking half bad these days either.
