Michelle Obama Compares Being First Lady to Living in a Bubble During a Hospital Visit

Michelle Obama has been feeling the holiday spirit since November, and on Monday, she teamed up with Ryan Seacrest to visit children at The Children's National Health System in Washington DC. The first lady looked gorgeous in a pink floral blouse, and was joined by two special guests: the Obama family's dogs, Bo and Sunny. During their visit, Michelle and Ryan read holiday stories to kids, including 'Twas a Night Before Christmas, and Michelle answered some holiday questions from children. When asked about her favorite Winter activity, the first lady responded, "Since I've been first lady, I ski a little bit more because we don't get to get outside. When you're president and first lady, our lives are really — we live in a bubble."

Another kid asked whether Bo and Sunny were on the naughty or nice list this year, to which Michelle replied, "They were very nice. You see how patient they are. And I told you, they are excellent ambassadors. They are very good and Sunny has stopped running to the end of the hall and pooping. She hasn't done that all year. That was a naughty thing she was doing for a couple of years." We recently saw Bo and Sunny during Michelle's holiday play date with children at the White House.
