A Warren County family is scheduled to meet first lady Michelle Obama on Friday as she takes delivery of the official White House Christmas trees.

Five of the trees are coming from Wyckoff's Christmas Tree Farm in White Township, outside Belvidere. The trees -- four 10-foot-tall Douglas firs and a 21-footer -- will be featured throughout the White House.

The official Blue Room tree, an 18.5-foot-tall Douglas fir, is coming from Pennsylvania, from Crystal Spring Tree Farm in the Lehighton area. Grower Chris Botek and family, from Crystal Spring, will also be there Friday.

John Wyckoff, a third-generation Christmas tree grower at Wyckoff's, said he and his family are delighted to be invited to the White House. The trees were harvested Sunday and he plans to truck them Tuesday to Washington, D.C.

He'll go back Thanksgiving Day with the rest of his family for the ceremony Friday, he said. Accompanying him will be wife, Leslie, and his children, ages 20 to 7. They are Noelle, Olivia, Johnny and Sadie.

"I think it's exciting," he said today. "How often do you get a chance to meet the first lady face to face? It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Everybody's excited. We're just hoping the weather cooperates."

The family is honored to be recognized, said Leslie Wyckoff.

"I have a 20-year-old daughter (Noelle) and a 14-year-old (Olivia), so of course, we're all thinking 'What do we wear? I have to go shopping,'" she said.

Olivia, a freshman at Belvidere High School, visited Washington, D.C., last year as an eighth-grader but this will be the first time the Wyckoffs will actually step foot in the presidential mansion.

"The kids are excited about going," Leslie Wyckoff said. "We all are, just being at the White House and seeing Mrs. Obama."

For the Wyckoffs, it promises to be a hectic week. Besides the honors in Washington, the Christmas tree season opens Friday at the farm off Route 519. With Thanksgiving coming so late in November this year, the tree-picking season is shorter than in years past.

"We've got a phenomenal crop of trees this year," John Wyckoff said. "I'm excited for the whole season.

"The season's going to be condensed. That means it's going to be busier on the weekends. It just means you have to move a little faster. We need to be on top of our game and ready to go. It's a little nerve-wracking for me but I have a lot of good people that will make sure things work well."

White House officials in late October visited the Wyckoffs' 170-acre farm. Among the contingent were White House grounds Superintendent Dale Haney, Chief Usher Angella Reid and Horticulturalist Jim Adams.

Wyckoff's was winner of the 2013 National Christmas Tree Association's National Christmas Tree contest. The Chesterfield, Mo., association says its national winner has provided official White House Christmas trees since 1966.

This is the first time a New Jersey grower has been crowned champion in the National Christmas Tree Contest, officials have said.

Botek, whose tree will grace the Blue Room and must adhere to certain specifications, has a history with providing White House trees. He was the National Christmas Tree contest's 2010 champion and his parents, Francis and Margaret, were the 2006 contest champs.
