Michelle Obama visits Children's Hospital for Christmas with Malia, Sasha and Bo
22 December - First lady Michelle Obama, daughters Sasha and Malia, and Bo -- that celebrity hound -- paid a Christmas season visit to young patients at Children's National Medical Center on Tuesday afternoon. Continuing a tradition begun by Bess Truman for spreading holiday cheer, the first lady greeted patients, thanked hospital staff for their work and read " 'Twas the Night Before Christmas" to about 50 children along with their parents and caregivers.
This wasn't the first time Obama has headed out into the community to read to children, but it was Bo's first formal appearance since his unveiling back in the spring when he first arrived at the White House. The Obama girls preceded their mother into the hospital's atrium, where the children had gathered in anticipation of the holiday visit. The soaring space was decorated with hot-air-style balloons and a towering Christmas tree adorned with golden crescent moons.
