Ivanka Trump's little girl and oldest son stepped behind the podium in the briefing room, where they played with their father Jared Kushner's sister Dara's children, who traveled to D.C. for the mini-family reunion. The kids appeared to have a ball as they spoke into the lectern microphone.

The mum-of-three's little ones are already reaping the benefits of their grandfather’s new job. Ivanka revealed, "They call Air Force One the candy plane because there are lots of M&Ms and trays of candy. So they always exit the plane a lot more hyper and on a sugar high than when they entered." She continued, "But it's a surreal and remarkable experience and I really hope that they will be able to look back and reflect even on these very early years with such gratitude for having been able to be a part of this unique experience."

It helps us connect as a family and really create a framework for how we want to live our lives."
