First Lady Michelle Obama gave some military families a special treat Wednesday when she revealed her house's gorgeous Christmas decorations in a private viewing. The theme of this year's decorations, which include toys, many ornaments, ribbon and even a life-size replica of the family dog, Bo, is "A Children's Winter Wonderland."
But despite the extravagant accessories—tree-lined hallways, anyone?—we have to say the best part of the evening might have been the First Lady hanging out with a group of kids. She played with them and even baked gingerbread cookies! She is known for her healthy eating "Let's Move!" campaign, but everyone cheats at the holidays! Shhh, we won't tell.
Although the kids put their imaginary chef hats on, we need to give kudos to the staff members who assembled the gingerbread replica of the White House! That takes some serious skills. And not only did they create the iconic mansion, they also added a little village and trees to their creation!
Of course, the First Lady looked like her usual stylish self, opting for a plum colored printed dress accessorized with a silver necklace. The kids all looked cute, too, wearing their best outfits for President Barack Obama's wife.
Christmas at the White House certainly is a fancy affair—maybe we'll get an invite next year?
