Michelle Obama Mother's Day Tea/ Reception to Honor Military Moms 2012

Michelle Obama and Jill Biden host afternoon tea in The White House State Dining room to honor military mom's and their families as a part of the Joining Forces initiative. Later, the first lady and Biden help the children assemble hand made gifts to present to their mothers and grandmothers. Michelle thanked her mom, Marion Robinson for being her "rock". “She has taught me to believe in myself, and more importantly, to pick myself up whenever I stumble. She is always a shoulder to cry on and talk to, and I do that a lot.” She also praised grandmothers for "filling in whenever needed."

Wearing a Rachel Roy dress with a brocade patterned bottom, she greets guests.
