Michelle Obama Pictures

What a great way to end the State of the Union. Barack and Michelle called John Buchanan to inform him that his daughter Jessica, a missionary to Somalia, had been rescued from Somali bandits.

On a lighter-although certainly not as happy-note, we get a great look at the First Lady's amazing sapphire blue Barbara Tfank dress that she wore to the State of the Union, and she paired it with a pair of classy, strap-back black heels.

In a phone call from the U.S. Capitol immediately after the State of the Union Address, President Barack Obama informs John Buchanan that his daughter Jessica was rescued by U.S. Special Operations Forces in Somalia, Jan. 24, 2012.

Zeal Harris painted an interesting portrait of the Obamas titled simply "First Family"  It's oil (mostly) on panel and is 30 inches in diameter.

Tell us what you think of Zeal's interpretation of the First Family in the comments below!

The First Family took some time on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to give back. President Obama has declared this a national day of service, and so the Obamas spent time at Browne Education Campus, a DC elementary school.

So, this is a shot of Barack and Michelle on the South Lawn returning on Marine One from a trip to Fort Bragg, NC. I don't know about you, but it sure looks like they're flirting to me!

Sasha and Malia look adorable, and so grown up, in the new official portrait of the First Family recently released by the White House. And Barack and Michelle aren't bad either.  What a lovely First Family we have!

Barack headed to Dupont Circle with daughters Sasha and Malia to do a bit of book shopping at Kramerbooks & Afterwords Cafe.

As part of a tradition that stretches back 89 years, last night the First Family lit the National Christmas Tree.

First Lady Michelle Obama looks wonderful, choosing to celebrate the occasion in a tweed overcoat and standout orange scarf.

There's a new tree this year that still has some growing to do to reach his prime. The previous tree fell over in February in the face of strong winds.

Michelle, Sasha, Malia, and Bo the First Dog get the White House Christmas Tree. Don't they make quite the cute group?

First Lady Michelle Obama is joined by Malia Obama and Sasha Obama for the presentation of the Official White House Christmas Tree at the North Portico of the White House, Nov. 25, 2011. The 19-foot-tall balsam fir came from Schroeder’s Forevergreens near Neshkoro, Wisconsin and will be displayed throughout the holiday season in the Blue Room of the White House.

The tree from Schroeder's Forevergreens in Wisconsin is being decorated to honor of military families.

Schroeder's is one of approximately 800 Christmas tree lots and farms in the US that participates in the Trees for Troops program, which gives free Christmas trees to military families. This year they hopes to deliver their 100,000th tree.
