WASHINGTON (AP) - There were mostly treats at the White House this Halloween.
President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama handed out chocolate candies and butter cookies while welcoming thousands of people on Friday. The guest list included pint-size superheroes, caped crusaders, princesses, sailors, soldiers and other costumed characters.
More than 4,500 people were expected to participate, including children from military families and area schools. The song 'Monster Mash' and the Adams Family theme blared from speakers as guests walked up the South Lawn driveway.
Giant inflatable pumpkins decorated the White House balcony while more than 200 real pumpkins, carved by volunteers, dotted the Lawn.
Jugglers and acrobats also performed.
Perhaps the only trick? The president and first lady came dressed as themselves for the nippy weather.
