The kids all loved the gingerbread village
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!
What a fun surprise to have this video to look at as well this quiet Christmas Eve in Bogota. I love Reston Town center and it felt like I was right there with you guys. Love you. Merry Xmas!!!
