Jenna Bush Hager posts adorable picture of son Hal with sister Barbara's daughter Cora
NEW YORK CITY: Jenna Bush Hager recently shared an adorable picture of her son with sister Barbara Pierce Bush's daughter. The 'Today With Hoda & Jenna' co-host shared a beautiful picture of her son Henry "Hal" Harold, 3, hugging his 14-month-old cousin Cora Georgia as she sits on his lap, as seen in her Instagram story on Sunday, December 20, 2022. She captioned the picture, "Cousin love." Pierce Bush shares Cora with her husband Craig Coyne.
Hager opened up about the joyous family moment with her twin sister Barbara and her daughter who stayed with her for the holidays for the first time in a while in the episode aired on Monday, December 19, 2022. "My sister came to stay with us for the first time with the baby. I forgot what gift cousins are. He takes such good care of her," she said as the photo of Hal and Cora appeared on the screen.

"I want Hal to be my husband," the mom of three laughed. "I know that's weird. But he's so sweet to her. He's like, 'Baby Cowa, let's play trucks.' He asked if she could sit on his lap."
Hager, 41, posted pictures of the cousins having a wonderful time together in a sweet Christmas-themed photo shoot on Saturday. In the photos, Poppy Louise, 7, and Margaret "Mila" Laura, 9, are seen with Santa and Mrs Claus along with the twins. "Mila babysat [Cora] and she wrote this two-page letter," Hager shared on Monday's show. "She's like 'Dear Auntie Barbara, Cora was a little fussy. She had the hiccups but don't worry I gave her water. And then I read her four books,'" she continued, clarifying Mila "wasn't alone [with Cora]."
Hager also noted that this might have been possible in another era, such as when she was growing up. "I told Henry that at 9, I was alone with babies because it was the 80s." Co-host Hoda Kotb agreed, "Nobody cared then. We were allowed to do anything." "I actually think Mila could. I don't know when it's legal, but she could," Hager said.
Last week, Hager also shared about her family trip to Maine ahead of Christmas. "I basically stepped into a Hallmark Christmas movie this weekend," she told Kotb of the adventure. "We got to go to this thing called the Christmas prelude. The whole town is decorated. There's all this breakfast with Santa, cookies with Mrs Claus, house tours, and caroling. And we caroled as a family."
"We had the best time. We wore those gingerbread outfits the whole time," Hager continued. "We made an adventure and I have to say, really getting into the spirit of Christmas. If you could've seen — the Christmas tree had lobster buoys on it. Santa came in on a lobster boat," she said, adding, "It was just as festive as you can be."
