FIRST LADY DELIVERS DONATED TOYS: Michelle Obama carted two big bags of gifts to Toys for Tots campaign in Quantico. (video)

      Staffers have donated some 500 gifts including board games and Legos and at least one spectacular Barbie Corvette, according to the Washington Post.

      Obama delivered about a third of the toy haul to Quantico. The rest will go to a distribution center in the Anacostia section of Washington D.C.

      The first lady arrived at the large, unheated warehouse where the toys are sorted. She was greeted by volunteers and Toys for Tots staff, as well as several Marines, including Staff Sgt. Christopher Gordon, who served as the Quantico campaign coordinator.

      Obama thanked the Marines in a short speech, noting that, "at a time when you all are already serving . . . you show America you can dig even deeper in this time to make sure kids all across America have something good to wake up to on Christmas morning."

      Obama also made a special plea for donations appropriate for older kids, particularly those ages 10 to 14, who have not received the same kind of attention as toddlers.

      "You're 11; you're still waiting for Santa," she said. "I'm going to go back shopping. We still have a couple more days."
