Happy Holidays From The Obamas
On Christmas Day, Barack and Michelle Obama posted together on Instagram: a sweet photo of the pair of them with lit up trees behind them and arms around one another. Michelle rested on a black piano, while Barack stood next to her, looking stylish in a pair of black pants and a matching black mock-neck sweater underneath a tan bomber jacket, and Michelle stunned in a scoop-neck lacy black dress.
Their caption was written by Michelle, and she kept things short and sweet: “Merry Christmas!” she wrote. “Barack and I send you our heartfelt wishes for a blessed holiday and joyful start to the new year.” Sweet!
