Ivanka Trump posts sweet family Christmas photo WITHOUT Melania in it as Don Jr shares snap with his boys in Florida
IVANKA Trump shared a sweet family photo on Friday -- but First Lady Melania Trump was missing from the shot.
President Trump's 39-year-old daughter Ivanka took to Twitter and Instagram to share a photo of her family on Christmas morning.
The businesswoman and former fashion model was pictured standing beside her husband, Jared Kushner, and their three children - nine-year-old Arabella, seven-year-old Joseph, 7, four-year-old Theodore.
Their grandfather also cut a cheery figure in the photo.
However, First Lady Melania was missing from the photo.
Melania's absence in the family photo comes after Ivanka was accused of trying to muscle in on the First Lady's duties and was dubbed "Donald in a suit."
In other Trump family news, Donald Jr, shared heartwarming pictures of his wife Vanessa Hayden and their five children -Kai, Chloe, Donald III, Tristan and Spencer.
He captioned one of his Instagram posts: "Merry Christmas everyone🎄🎄🎄
From my family to yours we wish you a blessed day. #christmas#santa."
Don Jr's youngest daughter wore a blue dress, his eldest daughter wore a red dress, and all three of his sons, including himself donned khaki pants and collared shirts.
The president's eldest son also appeared to be matching his wife, as his button-down salmon-colored shirt was a similar color to his wife's blazer.
Other photos showed individual shots of their children smiling and making silly faces.
Another photo showed a table covered in Christmas decorations, milk and cookies, and drawings - presumably left for Santa.
Don Jr also shared some photos of Christmas Eve dinner on his Instagram story, with one showing three festive cakes from Southern Belle's Cakery.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump and Melania celebrated the holiday by shared a heartwarming video praising frontline workers and Covid scientists for their "miracle" vaccines.
In the clip released on Christmas Eve, the first couple gave one of their final public messages together while in the White House.
“The president and I want to wish every American a very merry Christmas,” Melania said, before noting that “this Christmas is different than years past.”
“We are battling a global pandemic that has affected all of us. Yet, through this great challenge, we have been inspired by the kindness and courage of citizens across this country.
“Teachers have worked extraordinary hard to keep our children learning, students have delivered groceries to elderly neighbors, communities have found new ways to stay connected to one another,” the first lady said.
“Courageous first responders, doctors, and nurses have given everything to save lives. Brilliant scientists have developed treatments and vaccines.”
The president said the US is “delivering millions of doses of a safe and effective vaccine that will soon end this terrible pandemic and save millions and millions of lives.”
He went on to say: “We’re grateful for all of the scientists, researchers, manufacturing workers, and service members who have worked tirelessly to make this breakthrough possible.”
“It is truly a Christmas miracle,” Trump said during the nearly three-minute-long clip.
Melania thanked “the brave and selfless Americans who keep us safe. We are forever grateful for the men and women of law enforcement and the heroes of the United States military.”
“In this holy season, we thank god for his infinite love and we pray that the light of his glory will forever shine on this magnificent land,” Trump concluded.
“On behalf of Melania and the entire Trump family, we wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.”
