Thanksgiving Weekend

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Luckily I had Stephanie visiting me to help with the homesickness, but both of us were very aware that we were missing out on an American holiday. Our closest attempt at Thanksgiving dinner was to find a restaurant with hamburgers on the menu. We were not expecting hamburgers served on bagels, though... or with salsa. Needless to say, the meal was a little disappointing, but better than it sounds.

We spent the rest of the weekend in Amsterdam. Our hotel was really nice (thanks Stephanie's dad!), and we got snow flurries on Saturday morning, which made the cold weather a little more exciting.

The snow in Amsterdam didn't last long, but back at home everything was still frosty. Looks like the beginnings of a couple of very cold months ahead. This was the frost outside my bedroom window:

Me and Stephanie's weekend project was to make a stop motion video of our pictures from the trip. My camera battery died about one hour in, and we kind of ran out of time. So here is our amateur video... I was hoping for better results, especially with music transitions, but it still matches up well for some parts and was fun to make.
