Michelle Obama recently shared adorable throwback with her daughters Malia and Sasha during their Easter celebrations at the White House years ago.
On her Instagram account, the ex-FLOTUS shared a photo of herself with her daughters and husband Barack Obama while standing at the balcony of the White House. The photo was taken during one of the annual Easter Egg Roll celebrations.
The second snap shows the former first lady reading a children’s book during the Easter celebration with the help of her kids and her mom, Marian Robinson.
Michelle included a touching caption alongside the photos amid the coronavirus lockdown.
“This year, I’ve been feeling a newfound sense of gratitude for all the little moments I used to take for granted. And I know so many of you are also trying your best to make new memories, like attending church online or sharing Sunday dinner over video chat with your relatives,” she wrote.
Barack’s wife has been proudly talking about her daughters in recent months. In December, Michelle shared details from the time that she dropped off Sasha at college.
During her interview on “Today,” host Bush Hager asked if the ex-FLOTUS cried when she sent her youngest daughter off to her dorm and she said that there were.
“We were really good about it, you know, we didn't want to embarrass her because she had roommates. When we got into a car ... and then Sasha drove off on her own and said that last goodbye, that's when we were like (crying noises),” she said.
In February, the doting mom also shared the advice that she gave to her daughters. During an interview with Oprah Winfrey for her “2020 Vision: Your Life In Focus” tour, Michelle admitted that raising Malia and Sasha at the White House was tough.
But despite the struggles that they faced as a family, Michelle constantly reminds her kids to walk their own walk. She taught Malia and Sasha to have their own identities that aren’t defined by who their parents are.
Michelle has also encouraged her daughters to take some time to figure out who they want to be in the world and who they think their parents want them to be.
As a mom, the former first lady wants to make sure that her daughters aren’t measuring themselves based on external influences even though she knows that this is hard to do.
