President and Mrs. Obama at the 2015 Easter Egg Roll

This photograph was taken by Matthew D'Agostino for the White House Historical Association on April 6, 2015, during the official White House Easter Egg Roll. Here, First Lady Michelle Obama leads Sunny, one of the first family's Portuguese Water Dogs, down the steps of the South Portico. President Barack Obama walks a short distance behind with Bo, the first family's other dog, and the official White House Easter Bunny. The theme of the official White House Easter Egg Roll in 2015 was #GimmeFive, which commemorated the fifth anniversary of the first lady's "Let's Move!" campaign by challenging the public to incorporate five new healthy habits into their daily routine, and share their positive lifestyle choices on social media. The event featured sports and fitness zones, cooking demonstrations, storytelling, appearances by costumed characters, musical performances, and classic seasonal activities such as an egg hunt and egg roll race. Performers at the event included rapper Diggy, girl group Fifth Harmony, pop duo MKTO, the cast of the Broadway musical "Newsies," “So You Think You Can Dance" all-star contestants, and entertainers from the classic children's television show "Sesame Street."
