Jenna Bush Hager is feeling grateful this Thanksgiving.

The 43-year-old TV personality shared a series of photos featuring her three kids and husband Henry Hager as the family of five celebrated Thanksgiving together.

In a black and white photo shared on Instagram, Henry holds up Hal as Jenna watches the two. Mila, 12, and Poppy, 10, lean into their mom, both girls quickly catching up to her height.

“The luckiest! Happy Thanksgiving, all!” she captioned the sweet shot. Another photo shared to her Instagram Story show Jenna and Henry donning turkey hats at the table with the group they celebrated with.

Bush Hager shared a similar carousel of photos during her Thanksgiving celebrations last year with her family.

The first photo featured the television host in a festive fall dress along with husband Henry and their three children. Other snaps included Bush Hager with extended family, a close-up of Hal looking directly into the camera, and Poppy lounging in front of a fireplace in her pajamas.

Earlier this month, Bush Hager spoke with PEOPLE about her Thanksgiving menu and her family’s special traditions.

Bush Hager is all about skipping the stress (there’s enough to worry about when it comes to planning Thanksgiving!) and “pasta night is the most popular night in my household” she said.

Most often, Bush Hager prepares classic spaghetti with sauce, a rigatoni bake, or “my meatballs with marinara,” which she noted will definitely be part of her “Ultimate Pasta Night” on Thanksgiving eve.

“I’ve been a huge fan of Rao’s Homemade for years. Even with our busy schedules, a meal made with Rao’s is one my whole family loves, and we get to prioritize time well spent over an authentic meal,” said Bush Hager, who partnered with Rao’s Homemade to make the night before Thanksgiving as easy (and as tasty) as possible.

And, even though her Today colleagues host the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade every year, Bush Hager said she’s yet to see it with her kids.

“I’m still dying to take my kids — and I will!” she said. “On Thanksgiving, we wake up, turn on the TV, lie in front of the fire, and watch the parade together.”

Last month, Bush Hager reflected on another moment of gratitude as she shared that one of her daughter Mila’s homework assignments brought her to tears.

On Monday, Oct. 6, the former first daughter posted a new entry to her Voices at the Table newsletter, where she opened up about how she parents in the modern world. In the entry, Bush Hager shared a snap of her daughter Mila’s answers to her homework assignment, where the 12-year-old responded to an “I want” prompt.

“My daughter brought me to tears with this school assignment, where she answered the prompt ‘I want.’ ” Bush Hager wrote in her Instagram Stories promoting her latest newsletter release.

In the assignment, Bush Hager’s daughter wrote that she wants “the world to be peaceful and scary stuff to be fake,” as well as that she wants to “meet my mom when she was my age.” The doting mom said that her daughter’s profound words are what “made me teary,” as she reflected on whether she worried about “the plight of the world” when she was a tween.

“I realized that sometimes I find the most comfort in the beauty and innocence of my children,” Bush Hager wrote. “All I have to do is read their assignments, cuddle with them at night, pay attention to the creative and loving things they say — and then I feel like our world is filled with such profound and sparkly hope.”

She added, “As I watch them sleep, I feel our world is a beautiful beach, filled with sea glass in colors we have never found before.”
