Last night the First Lady attended Christmas in Washington, a Christmas concert featuring a number of prominent artists including Mary J. Blige, Neil Diamond, Sugarland, Rob Thomas, and Usher.
Mrs. Obama wore a simple and elegant black v-neck dress with a full skirt. Mrs. O informs us that it is the work of Isabel Toledo.
I know this site is for photos of the First Lady, but I thought you might enjoy this one. Today’s White House Photo of the Day is First Dog Bo Obama looking too cute in his red and white Christmas collar.
Every year the President lights the National Christmas Tree, and Michelle, Sasha, and Malia were on hand to lend a hand. The First Lady also read "The Night Before Christmas" to a group of children.
As usual, the First Family looks amazing, but I think the highlight goes to Malia in her red overcoat.
UPDATE: Here's a video of the event

First Lady Michelle Obama and the too cute First Daughters Sasha and Malia get the White House Christmas tree from Eric Sundback. The tree is an eighteen and a half foot Douglas Fir that the Sundbacks planted thirteen years ago on their farm in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, farm.
UPDATE: The White House also produced a video of the Christmas Tree’s arrival.
