Hoda Kotb surprised her two young daughters with a dream gift for any child, or adult, might we add.
In Hoda's social media video which she posted on July 10, her friend brought out an adorable brown and white puppy to the driveway for her girls Haley, 8 and Hope, 6, to pet. Check out the adorable video below.
The friend was heard asking, "What do you think," as one of her daughters took in the sweet moment. The TV star put the dog into her arms and announced to her girls: "Here, take her. She's yours, she's yours. Oh my God."

Hoda captioned the wholesome post: "It's official. Meet our newest addition, WAFFLES," and the video raked up more than 69,000 likes on Instagram.
Welcoming the four-legged-friend into their household was a wonderful update as to how Hoda's life has been looking since she left the Today show in January, however, it's not the only change she's had in her life.
The goal for her life post-morning show was to be able to spend more time with her two little ones, and now the family has gotten an additional member to continue making memories with.

The doting mother-of-two is also putting out empowering content through her podcast, Make Space with Hoda Kotb, and she recently sat down with Joanna Gaines to discuss everything from imposter syndrome, to what it's really like to be a working mom.

Regardless of what Hoda's exploring, she continues to keep her curiosity alive as well as her zest for life, regardless of any major shifts that take place.
