Kelly Ripa paid tribute to her mother Esther earlier this week as the woman who raised the talk show host celebrated her birthday.

"Happy birthday mom! Even though you don’t have Instagram, this public declaration makes it possible for other people to tell you how much i love you!" Ripa wrote.

In the post, Ripa shared several pics, including childhood photos of her mom and one special snap at the end that shows Ripa, her mother and Ripa's daughter Lola -- three generations of Ripa women.
