Along with the tour came a wonderfully illustrated guidebook by Jim Starr, who I was grateful they gave credit to. The illustrations show The President and First Lady’s son Barron being delited by all the festive deorations and heading up the residential staircase at the end. Included in the booklet is a recipe for Peppermint Bark and craft instructions for how to make your own silhouette.<\/p>\n
