2011 Shipley Family Christmas Awards

  • Earliest to Rise: Thomas, although not as early as I was expecting...at 7 am something
  • Fastest Gift Opener: Gracie, hands down the winner in *maybe* 6 minutes to get through EVERYTHING under the tree!
  • Lamest Gift: Mommy has to take that prize. Thomas was visibly UN-impressed with the Clifford sleeping bag I got him. Hello, they don't have to all be toys, and *we* like practical!
  • Most Difficult Packaging: Santa for the Rapunzel hair braider for Gracie
  • Green Eyed Monster Award: surprisingly Thomas. Although, a big award to Gracie for sharing her toys (and by "sharing" I mean not screaming her head off when he touched something of hers)
  • Biggest "Hit" Gift(s): Santa with the ice cream play dough sets. Each child got a set of different ice cream parts/makers and played for over an HOUR *TOGETHER!!!**
  • Favorite Toy: Thomas: Fire Truck floor (very large) puzzle. Gracie: Sqinkie mall/amusement park (thank you Mamaw & Papaw)
  • Most Played with Toy: Gracie: Barbie Pet Vet dog. Thomas: Cars Race Car Track
  • Loudest Scream: Gracie when she got to the tree and saw the Hello Kitty Sewing Machine
  • Cutest Moment: Thomas finding Hot Wheels hanging on the tree a few at a time at random moments through out the morning (Santa hung Hot Wheels packages all over the tree like ornaments--isn't he cleaver?!!) "Car!! Ano-der one!!!"
  • Most Grinch Like: sorry honey, but you used at least 2 lines from the movie ;)
  • Broken Toy Award: Gracie's nutcracker (we can fix it) she blames Thomas, he looks innocent. Thankfully, the only toy requiring surgery.
  • Most Annoying Toy: Santa! Zhu Zhu pets for Gracie. Lord have mercy!!! I should be thankful he waited this long to give them to her. NO ONE ELSE BUY HER ANY--THEY ARE OBNOXIOUS AND MAY POSSIBLY GET "LOST" AS THEY ARE RODENTS, AND NO ONE SHOULD WILLINGLY KEEP RODENTS!
  • Mommy "Wow" Moments On Gifts (For the Kids): Thomas: Melissa & Doug puzzle set (which he LOVED) from Aunt Ruth & Uncle George. Gracie: Embroidered lunch box from Aunt Sharon (thank you!)
  • Noisiest Gift-Giver: Mamaw & Papaw...not one, but two of the loudest toys in the house today..of course as you know, the louder they are the more they love the gift ;) Thomas: race track with shakable cars, Gracie: Squinkie Ferris wheel.
  • Biggest Smile: Thomas as he climbed in the inflatable car ball pit from Candice & Elliott (that I blew up myself--*without* a pump! Whew!)
  • Most sugar consumption: this might be a toss up..Thomas started by finishing the crumbs Santa left behind on the plate, ate at least 2 pieces of candy after he snuck another one when we told him "only one." Gracie had her once piece of candy, but *had* to have another when Thomas pilfered his second one...ate *7* blueberry muffins while I wasn't looking...and asked CONSTANTLY for other deserts and/or sugary substances the rest of the day! (Neither child got any more!)
  • Longest In PJ's: well, I am still in mine, and Gracie went to bed in hers. Thomas changed a few times...but that's becuase he can't hold his "liquids" and he likes to take his clothes off ;)
  • Most Spoiled Children on Christmas Day: mine!
