Thicker than water! Kim and Kyle Richards reunited for Kim’s 51st birthday dinner on Saturday, Sept. 19, after months of estrangement — and the sisters looked like they were back on good terms again.

“Spent some fun quality time with my sister @kylerichards18,” Kim captioned a snapshot of the two Real Housewives out in celebration. “Life is Good.”

In the photo, dark-haired Kyle, 46, has a hand on Kim’s shoulder, as the pair smile for the cameras. Kim also posted another shot, of herself with daughters Whitney and Brooke and Brooke’s husband, Thayer.

“Such a great Birthday,” she captioned the sweet photo. “I am completely blessed!!”

Just last month, Kim was admitted into a hospital by concerned family members after she allegedly shoplifted from a Target in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley.

The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star (she will not return for the upcoming season of the hit Bravo series) was accused of stealing more than 100 items from the retailer, totaling about $612, according to the Los Angeles City Attorney.

But Kim and Kyle’s problems with each other have gone back for many years, as documented over five seasons of RHOBH.

Things were arguably never worse than on the most recent, fifth season, as Kyle and the other women questioned Kim’s sobriety, among other deep-seated family issues.

“Kim takes issue with Kyle because she feels as if Kyle has thrown her under the bus too many times,” one source told Us of Kim, who is a recovering alcoholic. “She just wants Kyle to have her back.”

Saturday wasn’t the first time that Kyle has quietly expressed her support for her sister, however.

Shortly after their rocky appearance on the Housewives reunion show, Kyle posted a shot of the pair with half-sister Kathy Hilton, with the caption, “#NationalSiblingsDay these are my siblings @kathyhilton & #kimrichards11 #sisters no matter what…”

Kim didn’t respond to the public post at the time.
