She makes a lovely Santa, doesn't she?

We've got some more shots of the White House all decked out for Christmas courtesy of Tom Bridge. The White House's holiday theme is Shine, Give, Share.
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!
We made a recent visit to the White House to see the Christmas decor. Of note are the many sculptures of Bo the First Dog that have been made for Christmas. Hope you like our pics!
