Leave it to First Lady Michelle Obama to make sure that 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is the most decorated house in Washington, D.C. For the last eight years, Mrs. Obama has enlisted the help of some of the nation's best designers to make sure the White House exudes the Christmas spirit. For her final Christmas in the White House, Michelle, and her dogs Sunny and Bo, had the help of event designer Bryan Rafanelli to create the theme "The Gift of the Holidays" with decorations inspired by the first lady's Let's Move and Let Girls Learn initiatives.
