PHOTOS: 2,000 Trick-or-Treaters Descend upon White House
First Lady Michelle Obama just keep giving us reasons to love her. Behold reason number 6,000,001…
Name one other First Lady that donned a cheetah costume (or is that leopard?) for a White House Halloween bash. Gotta love it! 2,000 children from the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area descended upon the White House for a Halloween trick-or-treat run that they will never forget. Trick-or-Treaters were greeted by a White House driveway lined with jack-o-lanterns, carved by volunteers. According to the Associated Press, children dressed as superheroes, pirates, fairies and skeletons were treated to White House M&Ms embossed with the Presidential signature, butter cookies, and dried fruit. I’m guessing that those M&Ms will not be eaten. They’re definitely going to be placed into airtight keepsake boxes.
Is it just me or does President Obama lose cool points for coming dressed as the President? Even the First Grandmother joined in on the fun, wearing a cute orange vest. Military families and children of White House and residence staff were also treated to a Halloween party in the East Room.
