First Lady Michelle Obama Delivers Toys and Holiday Cheer
First Lady Michelle Obama stopped by a Toys for Tots service project at a military base yesterday with “boxes and boxes” of gifts that were donated by White House staffers, American CEOs, and even First Daughters Malia and Sasha.

As she thanked the volunteers and donors [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/12/11/first-lady-michelle-obama-spreads-holiday-cheer-toys-tots?utm_source=121212&utm_medium=topper&utm_campaign=daily ] working to make this holiday season special for those who are less fortunate, Mrs. Obama noted that it was especially meaningful to attend the event on a military base, since Toys for Tots was started by a military family.
