HuffPo Slide Show: First Lady Michelle Obama at Mary's Center, 2/10/09

[Amerigo Vespucci]

First Lady Michelle Obama spent Tuesday at a local social services center where she read with toddlers and chatted with a group of teens.



Her book of choice, "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" appeared to be both a crowd and personal favorite.



Michelle lent a listening ear...



...and shared a laugh.



But Michelle wasn't the only one giving back -- the students returned her favor with a poster made for her daughters, Malia and Sasha. It reads, "We love you Malia and Sasha! Happy Valentines Day!"



And from the look of things, the theme of the day was hugs.



Hugs...



Hugs...



And more hugs...



There were plenty to go around.

1. Lovin' it!

I felt as though I spent a lot of the first 5 yrs. of each of my kid's lives in the floor or on the run, and it was the same when I volunteered in their elementary school.

It's great to see the First Lady so relaxed with those children!!
