Between private concerts with the Jonas Brothers and trips to the set of the new Harry Potter movie, being President Obama's daughter certainly has its perks.
But when Sasha Obama turned 9 yesterday, she kept it low key.
The youngest Obama celebrated her last year in the single digits with a party at California Pizza Kitchen in Bethesda, Md., just outside Washington, D.C.
The birthday girl was accompanied by her mom Michelle, sister Malia and four friends.
The party goers finished the evening on a sweet note -- CPKids sundaes!

For some reason, we have a feeling that California Pizza Kitchen is going to be the new birthday party hot spot for D.C. kids ...

twinwithtwins06 said...CINDI, tax payers pay the salaries of our military member, police officers and fire fighters. Are you going to question how much we paid for their children's birthdays, too? It's not like it was a Disneyland getaway. It was at a local pizza joint.

Janie said...Happy Birthday, Sasha,,
My family likes to eat at CPK too. I get a salad and our boys get a pizza. The humus and pita are great for an appetizer.

Besides, healthy eating doesn't mean completely eliminating certain foods, just cutting back and using common sense.

Liz Elalm said...They haven't forgotten. This was a one day event. I'm sure you wish her a happy birthday as many of us do.

mary said...OK, its a birthday party--its ok to give your children a special meal on their birthday. I don't think Mrs. Obama is a hypocrite just because she is giving her child a special treat for her birthday. If you give them soda, chips and cake every day instead of a good diet that's not right and she is right to say it.

Lynne said...It seems as though you have never been to CPK. It's way more than pizza! And the pizza by the way is fabulous. Save your money and give CPK a try. Well worth a month of your salary.

lorraineg828 said...Are serious, my family eats lots of fruits, vegs and no red meat.
But, do really think having pizza for your kid B-day is bad.
People like you look for anything to say. Keep your stupid comment to yourself. I forgot in America we have free speech.
So stupid comments are welcome!!!!!
Who your children are not having liver and salad for their B-day.
Grow up and be a little human. Put your clearly lack of Mrs. Obama to the side. GeZZZZZZZ

Babs said...Kyleb, For Gods sake Its her birthday. If most children ate some "junk food" only on their birthday and perhaps for a few other special days, they would be fine. As for me, I honestly dont care what the kid did for her birthday. Could not care less.

Mary said...Pretty much its "you". Everybody who doesn't like the particular President thinks that anything he does is bad ---even normal things like a child's birthday party. I would note that the President himself apparently did not attend the party because he is trying to do a lot of things at once because clearly this country does have a lot of problems. Oh wait you can profit from that because he's now a bad father too.
Frankly I did not like many of George Bush's policies except for education, but I would never consider criticizing him or his family for spending time on normal human activities. I kept my criticism to official policy.
