How the President Rolls


Happy President's Day!! Are you one of the lucky ones who has the day off? I hope so!

I was wondering what was happening around the White House this week...and it turns out that this Thursday, February 21st is the opening of the lottery for the 2013 Easter Egg Roll. Anyone in the country can register for the online lottery here...and it's free. 

I love these photos from the Easter Egg Roll in the 1920s.
Regardless if you make it to D.C., you can purchase one of the wooden keepsake Easter eggs. They will be available this Thursday at 10am. What a fun item to add to an Easter basket for someone you love. It'll last longer than the chocolate ones!
 How's your week rolling along?

I had no idea that the White House egg hunt was an open lottery! How fun! You've got all the good tips over here. With my kiddies out of preschool and school today, I am taking them to the aquarium. Enjoy your day! xxx's, Lisa

I didn't know about the Easter Hunt at the White House either, you find a lot of interesting things out. The husband is home today but that's a good thing since it's two degrees out and blowing wind, he gets to hike Dylan today while I stay inside by the wood stove.....;)

Enjoy your day Elizabeth!

We did this w/our kids during Clinton's last term. Fun but a bit crazy at the end - when it was time to leave, security got a bit wonky and tried just having everyone squeeze out one exit...I'm happy to have the wooden eggs though.

Love the photo from the 20's - so neat! I love this tradition. And I'm sad mine have outgrown the Easter egg hunt on the village green.
