US President Obama a delight with kids, gives baby Pope 'top prize' on Halloween

The first couple celebrated Halloween with hundreds of local children dressed in costumes at the White House on Friday. 

Barack and Michelle Obama handed out candies to the children dressed in their best Halloween attire, although the President thought that there was one kid who sweeped away the prize, a baby who was dressed as Pope Francis driving around in his popemobile. 

The White House also tweeted the video of the delightful event:

The event was celebrated in the driveway which was decorated with the 'enchanted forest' theme for the event this year. Even Obamas' family dogs were also dressed in costume to welcome the decked up kids.
