November 25, 2016

MRS. OBAMA: What do you think?

CHILD: It's great.

MRS. OBAMA: It's great. Should we accept it?

CHILD: Yes.

MRS. OBAMA: I think we're good.

These are our replacement kids. (Laughter.) This is what happens when you get teenagers. One is asleep -- these two are up. (Laughter.) It's what we got now.

Good job, guys. Christmas begins! The holidays start! We're ready -- our last one. We're excited about it.

Congratulations to our award winners here. Thank you, guys.

All right, our work here is done.

CHILD: That was easy.

MRS. OBAMA: It's easy. The easiest part of the holiday season.

All right, you guys. Happy holidays. Happy Thanksgiving. We'll see you around.
