"There's no way that I could ever fully1 measure all that my own mommy has done for me," the first lady told more than 100 guests seated at round tables in the State Dining Room as she gestured toward her mother, seated at the head table.

"This woman who tries to take absolutely no credit for who I am, for some reason. She is my rock," Mrs. Obama said.

The first lady said her mother pushes her to be the best woman, mother and professional she can be, and has always been there for her.

"And as our family has grown, she's managed to expand her love for all of us. And raising our girls in the White House with my mom ... is a beautiful experience," Mrs. Obama said, her voice breaking as she spoke2 about her mother, who also lives at the White House. "The opportunity to have three generations living in the White House, it's beautiful. And I'm pretty sure the president's happy about it, too."

Eisenhower's granddaughters Susan and Anne Eisenhower, along with young women who participate in Mrs. Obama's mentoring3 program, spouses4 and mothers of service members, and Vice5 President Joe Biden's wife, Jill.

Guests were served cucumber（黄瓜） watercress（西洋葱，豆瓣菜） sandwiches, smoked salmon6（熏制鲑鱼） blinis（薄饼） , chilled（冷冻的） Gulf7 shrimp8, blueberry scones9（司康饼） and tea.
