First lady Michelle Obama, her daughters, Sasha and Malia, and dogs, Bo and Sunny, welcomed the arrival of the official White House Christmas tree around 11 a.m.
The 18-and-a-half foot Douglas fir came from Crystal Springs Tree Farm in Leighton in the Pocono Mountains. This is the third time since 2006 that the White House Christmas tree came from the farm, according to its website.
The tree will be set up, decorated and displayed in the Blue Room of the White House throughout the holidays.

Workers used a crane to place the 88-foot Engelmann spruce on the west front lawn of the Capitol Monday morning. It is the second tallest tree ever used at the Capitol.
