Happy Birthday Malia Obama!

Today, July 4th is not just our nation's birthday, but also the birthday of a very special girl, who coincidently happens to reside at the White House - Happy 11th birthday Malia.

The birthday will be extra special for several reasons. For one she is now officially a 'tween'. Also, she is the first member of the family who will get to celebrate her birthday at the White House. While President Obama's special day is not until August, First Lady, Michelle Obama celebrated her birthday a few days before the inauguration, and little Sasha, celebrated her eight birthday in London.

This is also the first birthday since 2006 that the young girl will not be in a hotel room, on the road with with her dad. Last year, she spent the day campaigning in Montana, and evening, eating a take-out dinner and dancing to a Jonas Brothers CD, in a Holiday Express room.

We have a feeling the party this year will make up for all the ones she has missed out on. For one, she started her celebrations on Thursday with 20 of her best friends - who were flown for a sleepover to Camp David, a presidential retreat, nestled amidst the mountains of Western Maryland.

Today, the whole family will fly back to the White House and celebrate the two birthdays with a barbeque and fireworks along with several thousand members of the military and their families.

While there is no word on what the cake will look like, with the entire White House kitchen staff at her disposal, we have a feeling it will be spectacular - As for live entertainment? Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus or Beyonce? ? - We can only speculate. Whatever it is we know it will be fun and a well-deserved celebration for this beautiful first daughter - Happy Birthday Malia!
