The snapshot of her with Dad found the two grinning widely while standing close together.

Leila shared a snapshot of herself standing with dad Al in front of what appears to be an area of a zoo.

She captioned her post: "Happy birthday, Dad! Thank you for everything you do. Have a great day, fly guy"

Al smiles into the camera as little Leila, clad in a red gingham dress, looks off to the side.

The photo of the yellowed old snapshot was taken on top of some tile or a wall.

Leila recently took a family trip with her dad and the rest of the Roker crew.

She seems to have been more in the public eye as of late.

The 24-year-old is Al's middle child.

LONG WEEKEND

Meanwhile, Al went missing from the Today show after mentioning his retirement plans.

The anchors noted Al's absence on Monday when the show aired, with Craig Melvin explaining where Al had gone.

"He's celebrating his birthday," Craig informed viewers.

"He dropped Nick off at college yesterday, so Al is taking the morning off," Craig continued.

Al spent the weekend with wife Deborah taking Nick back to college for his sophomore year.

Then, the beloved anchor celebrated his birthday on Sunday night.

He shared snapshots of the dinner he enjoyed out with family and friends on Instagram.

That included steak, mushrooms, and greens as well as what looked like a pasta dish from Bimi's Canteen & Bar.

He captioned his photos: "A yummy (birthday dinner) at @bimiscanteen tonight in (Chatham, NY)."

Al will likely be returning on Tuesday after all the excitement has died down surrounding his son Nick and his birthday.

AL IS WELL

Meanwhile, Al praised his wife, Deborah Roberts, for her $450 birthday gift that she got him.

The TV star put it in the backyard of their New York City townhouse and showed it off in a new video.

On Saturday, Al celebrated his 69th birthday early by cooking up some food on the grill.

Over the video, the Today notable played the song Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash.

"Yes, welcome to the ring of fire," Al said, as the camera was focused on the products in his backyard.

"My Kamado Joe, my new Blackstone, pizza oven, big green egg, and the hasty-bake."

"The Ring. Of. Fire," he ended, before panning the camera over all of them again.

He captioned the Instagram post: "My birthday present from Deborah Roberts is a @blackstoneproducts griddle, completing my ring of fire."

Deborah, 62, simply commented with heart emojis and one chicken emoji.

The second item, the Blackstone 28 inch grill, seemed to be the only new one, and retails currently at $450.

Al turned 69 on August 20.

'SATURDAY SUPPER'

Al shared another photo on social media a few hours later.

This one showed off the end product and had food spread across their outdoor table.

The table was covered in a red and white checkered table cloth.

"With the help of @ouichefroker and @debrobertsabc my pre birthday Saturday supper: smash burger, cedar plank salmon, hot dogs, corn pudding, corn on the cob, baked beans, tomato salad, and a salad," Al captioned the post.

Aside from what he put in the post, there also appeared to be lettuce wraps and deviled eggs.

Condiments sat in the middle, as well as vegetables for the burgers.
