Instead of Friday Night Leftovers this week, I thought it more appropriate to have a different version - The Christmas Leftovers. Here's a glimpse at the presents, the headaches, the cleanup & the treats!
- Present requiring the most batteries - Digital Light Designer Art Canvas (4 "Ds")... and we didn't even have the darn "D" batteries!
- Present requiring the most
manDaddy hours to put together/assemble so it is operational - it's a tie between downloading apps and customizing the two new Tablets/Pads and building a Erector Set dune buggy with Thomas. - Biggest surprise of a present - the cardboard Abby Cadabby Wings that came as an extra in one of Abby's presents. She wore them A-L-L D-A-Y long.
- Biggest surprise present for Mommy - a new laptop/notebook!
- Present requiring the most creative wrapping - Light up Fairy Wings
- Gifts that made it into stockings this year were - play dough, reading books, new character spoon/fork sets, kids' chapsticks, and magical wands for the girls
- Most technological gift received - Tablets for both Thomas & Abby
- Most personality-appropriate gift for each of the kids was - Thomas and his new race car sketch book with stencils; Abby and her tons of new hair bows; Marilyn and her new baby doll and stroller.
- Yummy treats left out on Christmas Eve - Cookies & milk for Santa; carrots for his reindeer
- Name of our new Elf - Rumphy
- Present that is the most appropriate for Alaska - Snowman Making Kit & Snow Paint
- Wake-up time on Christmas morning thanks to all the little feet in our house - 6:45 am
- Cups of coffee I was able to drink throughout the morning - 1/2 (which is an enormous lack of caffeine on my part. How I was functioning, I'm not sure).
- Number of gifts requiring pre-assembly on Christmas Eve - zero (0)... that is a first!
- Number of duplicate presents - 4
- Present that has caused the most fighting - Marilyn's new baby doll & stroller (as you can imagine, with two little girls this causes contention).
- Present that will have to wait the longest to be used - Thomas got a new Original Big Wheels... need to wait until the snow all melts in April
- Present that has caused the most headaches (for Mommy & Daddy) - REVISED ANSWER... downloading apps for the tablets... 100% more difficult & time consuming than our iPhones. Let's just say they are a pain in the ARSS!
- Number of days that it took to clean up the xmas "mess" - 1 day (this Mama needed order restored in order to function and press on to the New Year)
- Deadline for take down of all the xmas decor - first weekend of January (before everyone goes back to school/work)
