First Lady Melania Trump brought Valentine’s Day cheer on Wednesday to children at a private facility on the campus of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), The Washington Post reports.
The First Lady was dressed in a festive belted red coat for the day of love, and she helped a group of children decorate heart-shaped cookies with frosting and sprinkles, ABC News reports.
According to The Post, Mrs. Trump greeted each patient, ranging in age from four to 26, with a “Happy Valentine’s Day,” and gave White House holiday cards to all the patients.
She also asked the children if they liked the Children’s Inn, a private, nonprofit facility for very ill children who are participating in clinical trials at NIH, as well as how the children were feeling, ABC News reports.
The First Lady also accepted handmade cards from the kids, including a paper gift bag from four-year-old Jared Rogers who was so excited to see Mrs. Trump that he ran over to her.
Another patient, according to The Post, gave the First Lady a pair of sunglasses, and she remarked that the sunglasses were “very fashionable.”
According to ABC News, Mrs. Trump has been focusing her work as First Lady on the well-being of children.
