While the book shares a lot about the White House’s history, many of its pictures feature the Obama family. One of his daughter is shown walking the family dog in the Rose Garden and the whole family is shown on a page that talks about how it is an office and a home.
JDaniel and I enjoyed reading The White House and learning more about it.
What did we do to explore The White House?
A simple paper cone decorated with stars and ribbons seemed very patriotic.

Okay- I’ve thought this so many times when I have read your posts…I’m gonna go for it….here I go…
“Can I PLEASE come grow up at your house?” I want to be raised by YOU. Can we just start my life over and you take the childhood part? Lets think on that….

Just put my college age son on the train to DC to go see the inauguration, another step on the learning process. Hope he can get close enough to see the Obamas.

With no kids around, I explore books by reading way too late into the night.
I’ve been at some really good ones, though!

What an awesome inaugural celebration! Love the model of the White House. I kinda wish I had a wand too – I bet it was waving like crazy when Beyonce was singing the national anthem.
