A cheeky elf stole the show at the 32nd annual "Christmas in Washington" concert on Sunday evening, pulling a cute face while posing for a photo with the nation's first family.

Five children, past and present patients at the Children's National Medical Center, presented donated gifts to the Obamas to give to children at the hospital.

"Hey, you guys, you going to help us?" Michelle Obama asked.

"Good job, elves," the president said. "Nice job."
