Monday kicked off the White House Easter Egg Roll in Washington, D.C., this time under the Biden-Harris administration.
Announced by the White House on Thursday, the springtime tradition followed First Lady Jill Biden‘s theme of EGGucation, which is “transforming the South Lawn and Ellipse into a school community, full of fun educational activities for children of all ages to enjoy.” For the occasion, Dr. Jill Biden arrived embracing the spring theme in a pastel green pantsuit, with a matching top underneath. Vice President Kamala Harris coordinated in a blush-pink power suit.
