The Freeman girls!

All the Shipps (minus Matthew and Sarah) headed down to Reston Town Center at 10 in the morning for a fun- filled adventure. We went to look at the gingerbread village in the Hyatt, make wishes at a fountain, walk, talk, and mess around! The trip ended with a stop at Panera for bagels! Afterwards Jensen and Jonathan came back to our house where Amy crushed Jonathan in a Dance Dance Revolution Battle, then they all watched some old family videos, and had some snacks. Then the kids had the idea for putting on a little Christmas special for their grandparents that they called "Christmas with Shipp 5" which included Opera by Jenn and Jensen, a rap by Jonathan, a hilly billy song by Abby, and some interpretive dancing by Amy. They finished it off with a big mega mix at the end! It was darling and their grandparents loved it!

Let it Snow!

This is officially the blizzard of the decade!! We have at least 20 inches of snow and it is still snowing!! Sarah, Amy and I walked down the street and were huffing and puffing we were so out of breath!! What a great workout!! We had a very fun snow day. Abby spent the day with her buddies Rachel and Hannah. Jenn was off with her buddies (Alexis, Elena, Sarah O. and Abby) so we did not see much of them but we had fun with the big girls who we don't see often playing in the snow and watching Elf. I got all my presents wrapped and goodies made and put together, we will see if they will get delivered!! We may have alot of snow days ahead of us :)
