Obamas Attend Mass, Greet Justin Bieber In First Family Style (PHOTOS)

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 12/12/2011 6:38 am Updated: 12/12/2011 2:31 pm

It was a busy day at the White House yesterday as President Obama, Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasha attended mass in the morning and later, celebrated Christmas in prime American style by attending a Justin Bieber concert.

Two days after the Obamas and the Bidens celebrated Hanukkah at the White House (with a festive blue motif), the First Family rang in the holidays again.

And it was the Obama girls that caught our style eye.

Sasha and Malia looked impossibly chic on their way to church; we're especially loving Malia's pink coat with white detail, paired with maroon gloves and maroon tights. Sasha and Mrs. O went more traditional, in a black coat and a khaki dress and coat with classic pearls, respectively.

And later, the presidential family attended the TNT "Christmas in Washington" show at the National Building Museum, hosted by Conan O'Brien and starring a very dapper Justin Bieber.

While Michelle looked elegant in green Cushnie et Ochs, Malia wins our sartorial prize with her ultra-chic yellow dress with bell sleeves and chain necklace. Sasha also glowed in a purple dress with maroon tights (did she borrow them from her sis?).

During the show, the Obamas were treated to music from Cee Lo Green, Jennifer Hudson and, yes, Bieber, and O'Brien poked fun at Michelle Obama's healthy eating initiative, according to Reuters:

"It's not easy to be a child at the White House these days. Santa's probably not going to stop at a house that leaves out a cup of organic soy milk and a plate of celery cookies," he said, to laughter.

Last month, we also caught the Obama girls looking fab at the annual pardoning of the Thanksgiving turkeys. Style icons in the making? You'd better hold onto your crown, Michelle.

See photos of both events below, including our fave: Sasha shyly receiving a hug from Justin Bieber (every girl's dream!).

I love the interaction between the the First Family. The children are growing up beautifully in every way and their parents are actively, lovingly guiding them. I am not a Democrat but I love the way this family enjoys their time together and wish the best for these lovely young ladies.

Malia and Sasha have shown themselves to be intelligent, well-mannered and beautiful young ladies. I wish them all the best in all their future endeavors.

And Sasha's ~darling~ dress - so modest, yet so appropriately ~now~, fashionistically speaking.

Love the contrast/sompliment: pastel and flash-of-fire, like a sun-kissed lilac. But, I abstract.

Mrs. Obama's understated but glorious silhouette is such a compliment to the President's divinely stated concert-wear.

What a blast, for the Whole Family.

How many ways can you say, over and over, I truly love this family. But I do !

You never see them, but holding hands and talking to each other and laughing.

Sasha looked like she was enjoying the hug from Bieber. They are such well behaved young ladies and their outfits were all good. Did you see Malia's leather gloves matched her tights ?

Again, I can't imagine anyone but the Obama's in that WH, and hope we have them for 5 more years. Comparing Obama and family against the candidates running against him, is like day and night.

Now, let's get a Congress worthy of his leadership.

Outstanding Family, what a first family!

Good example of a First Family, you can see the love and tender care, every father and mother in America can see what family life should be like in the good life.

If dad's not working this Christmas, thing might not be so great. Things are so exspensive too. Maybe things will be better next year.

People of all denominations and beliefs (including atheists, heathens, pagans and agnostics) are welcome into any Catholic church and to attend the Mass. The church requests only that those who do not share Catholic's understanding of the Eucharist as the body and blood of Christ, not partake in communion. But this too is a matter left to one's personal conscience. Nobody is going to stop anyone from receiving.

How many times did you read this looking for something ... you could make a poor comment about. Shame on you any church anywhere welcomes anyone who comes in respect, and courtesy. The christian bible (and most others) says he came to save the world. That even means you .
It wasnt about attending a particular service.

They attneded an Episcopal church, not a RC church.

How beautiful they look especially the First Lady, I am pleased they host so many events that include children and they can see the possibilities for themselves.
