Plus, the First Family shared details on the annual White House spring garden tour weekend.

With more low key entertainment and a guest list of 21,000 children and parents (compared to 35,000 last year), this year’s celebration is significantly scaled back.

Special tickets include admittance to the game, hunt, and a commemorative Nationals-themed wooden Easter egg and a basket.

And it closes March 18 at noon.

The president and first lady will deliver remarks at 10:30 a.m., and then they’ll read aloud from the “storytime stage” at 11:00 a.m.

The lottery closes at noon.

“This is the biggest event that we have at the White House all year long and it is our most fun event, because we have a chance to see families from all across the country coming through here,” President Obama said.

The Muppet and the man who behaves like a Muppet will be joined by Miss America 2014 Nina Davuluri and pop star Ariana Grande.

The White House Easter Egg Roll is today. Take a look at what the White House Easter Egg Roll looked like in years past, as long ago as 1898.

If you’ve got kids or a pretty long bucket list, attending the White House’s Annual Easter Egg Roll should probably be something you eventually do. If 2012 is your year, be ready—the lottery for one of the 35,000 spots to the event opens at 10 a.m. today.
