Cuteness Alert! Ivanka Plays On White House Lawn With Arabella

As President Trump and first lady Melania Trump hosted their first congressional picnic on Thursday, Ivanka Trump was seen at the event, too – frolicking with her daughter on the White House lawn.
In pictures from the event, the first daughter – married to Jared Kushner and the mother of three children – is seen having a touching moment with her own daughter, Arabella. In one picture, she swings her daughter by the arms. In another, she pats her on the head while holding her infant son Theodore.
Much has been made of Ivanka Trump’s picture-perfect aesthetics – and apparently that extends to her kids, too.
Trump and Kushner’s brood was also singled out for their cute looks, when they appeared in public during the recent Jewish holiday of Shavuot. The dynamic is reminiscent of the Kennedy White House – when young Jack, Jr. and Caroline lived in the executive mansion.
Some have questioned whether Ivanka is oversharing images of her children — and potentially exposing them to unwanted scrutiny.
