Day to rejoice: The Obamas head to Easter service today in Washington D.C.
Daughter Malia had on a navy blue dress with matching jacket while Sasha wore a pretty flora number with a coordinated yellow cardigan.
'Happy Easter, everybody,' Obama called out to crowds on his way into the morning service.
The President marked the Easter holiday and Jewish Passover, calling it a 'time to celebrate redemption at God's hand'.
In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama said the holidays helped connect Americans to their past and 'give us strength as we face the future'.
Obama said for Christians, Easter weekend is a time to reflect and rejoice about 'the things that matter most'.
