Sasha And Malia Obama Pardon A Turkey In Style (PHOTOS)

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 11/23/2011 12:36 pm Updated: 11/23/2011 4:21 pm

We know we're supposed to be excited about the sparing of the turkey's life and all, but seriously: look at how stylish Sasha and Malia are!

The family got together today to pardon two Thanksgiving, as per White House tradition. There were two turkeys to save, as the president explained:

The turkey's name is Liberty -- there he is -- and along with his understudy named Peace, he has the distinction of being the luckiest bird on the face of the Earth. Right now, he's also probably one of the most confused. [Laughter.]

Both turkeys sat calmly as the Obamas watched on, with Sasha and Malia equally calm. But looking at the pictures, we were kind of freaking out -- look how fashionable (and tall) the girls have gotten!

When most of their peers are probably wearing Uggs and Abercrombie (do kids still wear Abercrombie these days?), Sasha and Malia are rocking prints, bold jewel tones and metallic flat boots -- Sasha's even got on a bright, contrasting necklace.

And to think how small they used to be! (If you don't remember, a quick look back can be found here and here).

Now the girls are all grown up and developing their own distinct -- and fashion forward -- looks. See pics of the White House ceremony below!

THE OLDEST DAUGHTER IS GETTING SO BEAUTIFUL

The girls look like they are way uncomfortable in the role they play as daughters of the President. They look like they are ready to get out of the White House and do their own thing without all the Secret Service around them. I will be happy to vote GOP to help the girls get out of that stuffy White House so they can be themselves.

The first family is a great role model. The girls are growing up - my goodness. Older daughter is probable as tall as her father or taller. They really look humble and well trained. They are all a wonderful role model. Wow.

What a beautiful family. The children have always seemed confident, loved, and very well-mannered. I'm so proud of and happy for them.

It is refreshing to see young girls looking beautiful and dressing age appropriate with class. President Obama and the First Lady are wonderful parents who have instilled good values in their daughters. Congratulations on a job well done!!! Our country should take be proud that the leader of our country is a wonderful husband and father with traditional values who teaches his children by example.

It seems like they are able to still be kids
in a grown up world, they also humble and
it could easily go to there head, but I believe
the First Lady like my mom, runs the house
and keeps everyone in line, thats a good thing.
