Hoda Kotb was all smiles at the Thanksgiving table this year, her first time hosting in her new suburban home.
“Happy thanksgiving from our family to yours xo,” she captioned a series of photos from the holiday on her Instagram account.
Hoda, 60, was joined by her daughters, Haley and Hope, as well as her mother, Sameha Kotb. Her brother and sister, Adel and Hala, and her sister-in-law, Colleen, were also in attendance, along with her nieces, Hannah and Ella.
The house is absolutely gorgeous, with its spacious dining area and simple decor, including a light wood table with cream and tan placemats and white dishes. Hoda also shared a glimpse of some of the white geometric artwork on the walls, as well as the sleek layout of the kitchen.
Haley, 7, and Hope, 5, wore pajamas as they joined their family at the dinner table for the meal.
Thanksgiving also marked the end of an era for Hoda, who cohosted her final Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade as a member of the Today team. She will be leaving the show in January 2025, but she will still remain a part of the NBC family.
But of all the things she is looking forward to doing after Today, spending time with her daughters remains at the top of her list.
“I’ve found out, in my town, there’s a 5:30 Soul Cycle class which I’m going to start,” Hoda, who shares her kids with ex-fiancé Joel Schiffman, told E! News on October 25. “Then I’m going to go back and feed my kids breakfast and I am going to make a coffee to go in my Yeti.”
“I’m going to walk my kids down the beautiful streets to their school and I’m going to kiss them goodbye,” she added.
The possibilities are endless for Hoda and her kids, as she hopes to make so many sweet memories with them in their new home.
“I’m going to take them to wherever they want to go,” the NBC broadcaster said. “I’m going to bring them home later. I’m going to fire up the BBQ. I don’t care what the temperature is, I love everything barbecued. I’m going to make burgers and salmon.”
Hoda and the girls previously lived in a New York City apartment, which was close to the Today studio. Ultimately, she decided that she wanted Haley and Hope to experience new things in a quieter place.
“I feel like I’m in this repotting phase of my life,” Hoda said about moving during an August 12 episode of her “Making Space” podcast. “I just feel it. I feel like my roots need a bigger pot, in all kinds of things. I’m physically moving with my kids, which was a big deal for us, because it’s easy not to move because friends and this and that.”
She then explained the idea of “repotting” to her kids.
“When I found this spot that I liked, a little town that had all the things that could teach my kids independence, I told my kids, ‘We’re repotting.’ They’re like, ‘What? We’re moving?’ I go, ‘Yeah, but we’re repotting,’” the mom of two explained.
