These were some of the Halloween decorations at the White House this year. You can see a video of the Obamas handing out treats here and you can watch a video about the White House spider cookies here. Here are some of the decorations.

Video: Michelle Obama is a Leopard Woman for Halloween
President Obama, Michelle Obama and the first grandmother Marian Robinson handed out candy to the children of military families at the White House for Halloween. Barack did not go in costume, but Michelle looked fabulous in black pants, a leopard print twin set, cat ears and some awesome cat eye makeup. She accessorized with bangle bracelets.
The first couple greeted guests and passed out goody bags filled with
a large butter cookie made by White House pastry chef Bill Yosses and a National Park Foundation Ranger activity book. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs came as Darth Vader. Michelle told Jay Leno that it required security clearance to find out what Sasha and Malia were doing for Halloween and what their costumes were. We're guessing they went trick or treating with school mates to try to have a more normal evening.
Take a look:
