HONOLULU — A ten-year-old Toronto girl received a presidential Christmas memory this week.

Kyrstin met Obama in Hawaii where the president is spending his holiday vacation.

She was with her uncle and older brother at a gym at a Marine Corps Base in Hawaii where Obama was working out.

Obama wrote “To Kyrstin Dream Big Deams.”

Kyrstin said she also gave Obama a flower, and he said he would give it to first lady Michelle Obama.

“I’m going to text my friends back home,” Kyrstin told reporters on Christmas Eve as she proudly displayed the autograph for reporters.
