Williams said he was able to score some tickets for his wife, her sisters, and Cruz and Brooklyn for the event after pulling some strings.
He said they were all hoping to meet the Obamas, but weren’t sure if it would happen.
“They had no idea they would meet the president and first lady,” he said. “We knew in the past they had come out to give candy, but you just never know and they didn’t want to get their hopes up.”

“Cruz and his sister love to sing ‘Purple Rain’ and sang it all day while doing monument tours before heading to the White House but when Obama started singing, he was awestruck and didn’t sing a word,” he said.

Williams said the family was so excited to meet the president, and his wife called it the “best Halloween ever.”
“We were just so happy that the babies were able to experience this moment,” he said. “They don’t necessarily know the meaning of this moment, but as they get older we can share this video and these images with them while also explaining to them the historic nature of the moment and Barack’s presidency.”
