White House Previewed This Year's Holiday Decor Wednesday

WASHINGTON -- Bo's paw prints are all over Christmas at the White House this year.
A larger-than-life version of President Barack Obama's 2-year-old Portuguese water dog made of 40,000 twisted pipe cleaners is one of the first things tourists and other holiday guests will see when they visit the White House this month.

Bo also features prominently in the 400-pound, white chocolate-covered gingerbread White House. A version of the pooch, made from almond paste, sits on the grounds near a replica of Michelle Obama's fruit and vegetable garden.

"This year, Bo has taken on increased importance in the house so we made him a little bigger," White House pastry chef Bill Yosses told reporters Wednesday as the White House previewed the holiday decor. Yosses' fingers were still stained black from sculpting the mini Bo.

The president often says Bo is the most popular member of his family.
Bo even joined Obama, Mrs. Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha Obama in signing the family's official Christmas card - with his paw print.

3. Nice. Thanks for posting.

FSogol secretly wishes he was a good enough pastry chef to build white chocolate White Houses and marzipan Bos.

black coat. What a handsome little devil Bo-baby is!
