Elves Out of Control!

As promised, it is time for the "Elves Out of Control" Blog. You will find that the only elves that were really out of control were Kristian and Lee. The two of them by themselves were enough to handle, but together they were definitely a handful. Kristian (Gracie & Lee's nephew) is so random. You never knew what he would be saying or doing at any given time. Lee was the same way. One second he would be sitting quietly and the next he would be up dancing and being silly.

 I think Lee is going "gangsta" in this one

 I'm not sure what is happening here:

 Lee trying to keep the gifts for himself.

 A tape mustache? hmmmm

Shari had some silly moments too.

I tried to stay in control. Of course, I got sick shortly after this photo, so yeah...

 Lee was ready to get this event started!

  Or maybe he just had too much coffee this morning.

 Cindy came to that event too!

 Lee made himself laugh so much that he was on the floor!

 Lee was always misbehaving. At this point, he knew he was in trouble!

 He knew Kristian was about to come after him, so he gave himself up. 

 The capture!

Here is his mug shot:

Lee was just too out of control, so we had to lock him up!

Look how sad he was after being put on elf probation.

Uh oh... Kristian let him out & he's about to be on the loose again!

But look how appreciative he was to be out and about again! Poor Kristian looks scared!

Shari couldn't watch. She had to cover her eyes with her hat.

Kristian took his job of watching elf Lee very seriously.

 I'm not sure what was going on in this picture. I look content, but Lee... I just don't know about that guy. He must have been in trouble again.

He had a lot of fun at the event at the mission in La Ermita, but noticed we kept him inside the gate!

 Look at that crazy guy trying to hurt Kristian so he can get out!

 Kristian must have gotten the better of him. He looks like he's begging him to be free in this picture.

Fortunately, we were mostly able to keep the boys under control. It wasn't long after these last pictures were taken that some young boys across the road were shooting fireworks. They would light them and throw them. The front yard of the mission caught on fire and Kristian ran out to put it out with his flip flop. Lee and Kristian were always getting into some sort of trouble. As you can see, they kept us entertained. In all seriousness, they were the best elves anyone could have asked for. They would do anything that you asked of them and never complained. Thanks, guys!

Oh, I almost forgot. We had another crazy elf. She was always so busy that it was hard to capture her in a photo. I got one though!
