I Wanted to Share who the Little Obama Girls Remind me of!
My two girls are exactly three years apart, just like the Obamas.
They both love to sing and dance and act.
the youngest one is the ham and naturally talented.
The oldest one is more serious and more reserved.

2. Your girls are adorable!
The Obama girls remind me of my two little cousins, sisters - the oldest one is quiet and reserve and the youngest one is the ham of the family. I think about them every time I see the girls on TV. I am so happy to see this time of history. Seriously, I can't believe that this is real.

5. My girls are no longer little.......
The oldest (top photo) is 21 now, the younger, 18.
That's why I was so bold as to post their photos. :)

18. I tell them that all of the time!
But Malia and Sasha really do remind me of them. I used to dress them up in these wonderful "Mousefeather" outfits kind of like the dress that Sasha had on election night.

and I talk as much as I write....which is quite a lot! LOL!

They both speak fluent French as we ended up sending them to a bilingual French-American School in Berkeley, kindergarten through middle school.....

57. Oh, Frenchie they're beautiful! I have a dance studio
and I just loved the photos you posted. Talented and intelligent. You have done an amazing job.

I'm getting ready to paint a portrait of my friend's daughter and she looks very much like your older daughter. We just spent an evening going through photos trying to find one where she is serious
and isn't forcing a smile. The minute I clicked on your OP it was like..."that's what I'm looking for". Like a princess with the eyes and the long line of the neck.

Did you notice that Malia did a little chasse when she first came out last Tuesday night? I loved it.

She's a bit older these days at 15 and has been accepted at her high school paper as an editor, reporter, and photographer; she's an artist her g-pa buying her supplies some years back for x-mas that she made quick work of handing back pics of smiling people in big blue rain drops, and has a comic strip of her own about a normal kid who's dad is the grim reaper, she's very smart very-very smart a natural artist and her mother works for a major multi-national architectural firm based in the puget sound
