The Trumps hosted their first White House Easter Egg Roll - see the incredible photos
This year's Easter Egg Roll will be smaller than those of past years - 35,000 people attended the Obama's final event. President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, and their 11-year-old son, Barron, who lives in New York City with the First Lady, hosted kids, costumed characters at the executive mansion.
The event, which has been described as the "Super Bowl of White House social events," is an early test for Melania Trump, whose office is responsible for organizing the day.
There were signs that planning for it got off to a rocky start when, in February, the wooden egg manufacturer, Wells Wood Turning, tweeted a reminder of the deadline for ordering the commemorative eggs.
"It's the single most high-profile event that takes place at the White House each year, and the White House and the first lady are judged on how well they put it on," Melinda Bates, who organized all eight White House Easter Egg Rolls under President Bill Clinton, told The New York Times the week before the event. "I'm really concerned for the Trump people, because they have failed to fill some really vital posts, and this thing is all hands on deck."
