Both girls were seen in the photos at first coloring in happy birthday greetings while on the floor.
Another couple of snaps found Haley wearing bright pink glasses with clear frames.
In another, the girls posed with other members of the family.
Hoda rarely shares pictures of Haley and Hope.
This was the most recent set of images she has posted of both daughters to her social media.
Generally, when she posts photos of Haley and Hope, it’s usually from a family event or get-together.
PAINFUL PAST
Meanwhile, Hoda and Savannah Guthrie made a sad confession about their time in high school.
The anchors made the reveal while actor Mindy Kaling, 44, visited the morning show to discuss her new book publishing company.
On Monday, The Office alum sat down with Savannah, 51, and Hoda, 59, to talk about Mindy’s Book Studio and how it can help writers of color get their books published.
During the interview, Hoda asked Mindy: “Were you kind of nerdy in high school? What was your vibe?”
The Mindy Project star fired back: “How dare you?”
A small smirk curled the corners of her mouth as she followed up: “How dare you even ask the question.”
“Speaking as one,” Hoda interjected.
Staying true to the bit, Mindy asserted: “I was popular and cool,” before breaking character and admitting that she was a huge nerd.
The actress then revealed that books were her escape.
She continued: “Well, books were — I don’t think you guys were nerdy, but…”
It was at that moment that both Today Show hosts divulged that they were also nerds in high school.
Savannah raised her hand and confessed: “Didn’t go to prom,” she then pointed at her co-host and repeated: “Didn’t go to prom,” as Hoda nodded in agreement.
Surprised, Mindy questioned: “Really?”
Savannah quickly asked Velma star and producer: “Did you go to prom?”
“I did go to prom,” the actress confirmed.
“Well, then we’ve got you beat in the nerd department,” a triumphant Savannah bragged.
“I didn’t know I was going to stunt on Hoda and Savannah this morning by saying that I went to prom,” Mindy jested.
Sounding somewhat surprised, Hoda asked: “You did go?”
“I did go to prom. I went to Junior prom and Senior prom,” Mindy said.
“Wait, did you get asked or did you ask him?” Hoda asked.
Mindy returned to the earlier bit when she again asked: “How dare you?”
Hoda revealed that both she and Savannah only got to go to prom when they asked someone.
However, Mindy confirmed that she was asked to both dances.
“You were really cool,” Hoda joked.
Mindy countered by stating: “I love this reversal that has taken place, where somehow I have a lot of status here.”
They then continued on to talk about Mindy’s book publication company and their children.
HODA IT TOGETHER
Last month, Hoda teared up as she captured a sweet moment between her co-host Dylan Dreyer, 42, and her young son.
Dylan took to Instagram to share the video of her teaching her three-year-old son Oliver how to ride a bicycle.
She revealed that Hoda was behind the camera, which captured Dylan guiding her little one on the two-wheeler down a residential street.
Oliver, who Dylan shares with her husband Brian Fichera, along with her two other sons, Calvin, six, and Rusty, one – first focused on the pedals before seemingly gaining confidence in his abilities and watching the road in front of him.
The Today Show meteorologist held the back of the bike to start and eventually let go when she saw the tot had the hang of it.
She could barely contain her excitement as she watched her little boy steer the bike on his own.
Oliver stopped after venturing a few feet, and his proud mom praised him for his major achievement while Hoda could be heard sniffling in the background.
Dylan captioned the video: “@hodakotb capturing one of the best moments in a child’s life…learning to ride a bike!! Way to go Ollie!! You got this!!”
