White House Easter Egg Roll - Part Two

I shared some of the magic yesterday and I'm back today to share the rest.  After standing in line, it was time for Munch to participate in the historic egg roll!

This was *seriously* a historic moment.  Thousands of kids have lined up and rolled Easter eggs down this lawn since the 1800s.  Partner that history with this being President Obama's, our FIRST black president's, FINAL Easter Egg Roll and this moment was overwhelming!

When your kid has the opportunity to participate in history, you document it. 🎥📸💛#whitehouseeastereggroll #Munchface #Munchrocks #History #memories #auntiecheeredonfromthesideline

It's so crazy to see the photos in history and to know that my child had the opportunity to be part of our nation's history.

White House Easter Egg Roll - Part One

I've registered for the White House Easter Egg Roll since Munch was 2 years old.  It's always been a very calculated dance for me.  I registered as soon as the lottery opened, using my and others' email addresses, and I always felt the odds were in my favor.  This year was the first year that I registered on the last day using my email address only.  I registered with no hope of selection; it was more out of obligation and tradition really.  You know, check the box, say you tried, and prepare to pump your fists in Mr. Luck's face that you weren't selected.

A few weeks later, on a random day, it hit me that I hadn't checked my email for confirmation...  again, another step in the dance I've performed for the past seven years.  Islanders, imagine my shock when I saw this in my inbox:

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

I got 4 tickets - for Munch, MaseFace and their mommies.  Ryan and I planned outfits for the kids to coordinate and shared the excitement with family.  OMG OMG OMG!  The excitement was barely controllable when I received the tickets for entry.

It was official!  We had access to the South Lawn.  OMG! OMG! OMG!
