The First Lady, accompanied by daughters Malia and Sasha and Bo received the official 2011 White House Christmas tree earlier today. Arriving on a horse drawn cart, the 19 foot balsam fir was grown on Schroeder's Forevergreens in Neshkoro, Wisconsin.

For the ceremony, Mrs O wore a patterned grey mix skirt with a white blouse, black ribbon belt, a grey cardigan and grey suede boots. Daughters Malia and Sasha are looking particularly grown up, wearing a dusky pink blouse and navy corduroy skirt, deep red jeans, a velvet top and leather jacket respectively.
