Throughout the Obama administration, replicas of Sunny and Bo, the Obamas' very cute Portuguese Water Dogs, have graced the East Wing of the White House during the holidays.

And this year's First Dog statues are particularly festive. And large.

The decked-out White House also features this year's 19-foot Christmas tree, which Michelle Obama officially welcomed on Friday.

The Obamas' nephews Aaron and Austin Robinson were there, too -- and, of course, the normal-sized, living versions of Sunny and Bo.

So we should petition to put permanent Sunny and Bo statues on the South Lawn, right?
