Ginger posted five photos of her mom in celebration of her milestone birthday.
The first was a sweet solo snap of Dawn in a low-cut blue outfit as she smiled with the sun setting over the ocean behind her.
In the second, both Ginger and her mom rocked updo hairstyles, black-lined eyes, and pink lips.
Dawn held onto grandkids in two photos, while one snap saw her and Ginger sitting side by side in matching black tops and denim bottoms.
In the caption, the GMA star sweetly wrote: “Raise your hand if your mom turns 70 today!”
Ginger then added that not only is her mom in a new decade of her life, but she’s also entering a new career.
She continued: “Now raise your hand if your 70 year old mom decided to retire from a half a century career as a neonatal nurse practitioner and professor of nursing and go to medical school because she always wanted to…
“Wait, no one else? She’s truly one of a kind.”
The TV host insisted that she’s “grateful” not just for her mom’s “accomplishments, [or] many degrees or even the hundreds of babies lives [she’s] saved.”
“It’s you, for being my mom, my mentor and good overall human,” Ginger said.
“And if anyone ever wonders where I get my energy… drive, commitment, resilience and strength, look no further than soon-to-be Dr. Dawn.”
The 42-year-old ended her touching tribute: “Happy birthday @zuidgeestcraft – now go figure out how we can all make it to double 70 so we can hang out even longer.”
Ginger has been sharing more of her family life with fans lately, including having her eldest son, Adrian, make an adorable cameo on GMA last month.
It happened after she reported on the weather forecast as she noted the little one was in the studio.
“And I’ve got my little guy here. This is Adrian,” Ginger said as her son ran into her arms.
“And coming up, this is what we’re talking about. Now that’s [sic] school’s out, how parents can slow kids’ Summertime Brain Drain,” she continued.
“Do you have brain drain yet, with one day off?” Ginger asked Adrian.
“No,” he shook his head.
“No? Not yet. We did some addition this morning,” the daytime TV star informed viewers.
Adrian stood alongside his mom while she talked about the other topics coming up.
