Christmas Gift Awards 2011

And our winners are....

For Largest, it's a tie between food storage (two boxes of peaches and one box of chili) and emergency backpacks, both given to us by Mom/Dad Covington.

Smallest goes to Matthew's aunt, who gave me earrings. They will probably have to be re-gifted, as I have no plans in the next infinity to get my ears pierced.

For Most Creative, Daniel wins for his clever riddle/treasure hunt puzzle leading to a coupon (complete with drawings of movie characters) promising to take us to go see The Adventures of Tintin!


For Most Practical/Useful, we have a tie between my parents (Walmart gift certificate) and Matt's parents (several months - eh, maybe years - supply of toilet paper)! Honorable mention to Matt's parents for his new bike helmet.

The Most Romantic award goes to Mom/Dad Covington for an envelope containing "Date Money" and gift certificates to Applebees and IHOP. Time to live high.


Most Bizarre to Andy for giving Matthew a machete, without any explanation other than a questionable laugh. Turns out Matthew already had a machete, but his new one is sharper! Meanwhile, I am relieved for the time being that we have no children.


Most Thoughtful to Mom/Dad Covington for a Ped Egg, something which I really liked and wanted but forgot entirely to put on the wish list.


CUTEST goes to Kirsti and Joseph for the frozen popsicles and popsicle recipes book; we are so excited to make some of these! Squeal!


Prettiest to Matthew's sister Becky for the beautiful hand-made apron that is way too nice to ever wear when cooking or cleaning anything.

Most Labor-intensive goes to Mom Covington, for her fantastic handknit slippers!

The Most-Received Gift is board games, with a record-breaking six! (Scrabble from M/D Covington, Clue and Battleship from Crissy, Phase 10 from Daniel, Rack-O from Andy, and Word on the Street from Hannah). Honorable mention to pens from various people; we ended up with five of them, I think.

And finally, Ruth's Favorite goes to Matthew, for his . . . well, never you mind what.

Merry Christmas!
