Hoda took to Instagram Sunday and shared a slew of heartfelt photos of her and her family's celebrations for Haya, during which the two siblings twinned in matching "Happy Birthday Haya" t-shirts that had a photo of Hoda and Haya with Hoda's two daughters.

The weekend was full of craft making, matching t-shirts, balloons, and smiles for the Kotb family, and the mom-of-two also shared adorable photos of her daughters Haley Joy, six, and Hope Catherine, three, who got to enjoy plenty of drawing and hugs with their family.

"Early bday surprise for my sis!!!" Hoda wrote in her caption, adding: "Happy birthday Haya!" next to a string of celebratory emojis.

Her fans were quick to take to the comments section under the post to gush over all the heartwarming snaps, with one fan writing: "How wonderful is this. Look at all the smiles and happiness. Simplicity."
