Snow!

Hey All! We are living in a winter wonderland. We woke up yesterday to a beautiful sight: snow! I realize that snow may make some of you think of shoveling driveways and dangerous driving conditions but, since we don't have a driveway nor do we drive, it is a welcome sight to us. It means that Christmas is on its way and we are one step closer to going back to the US at the end of December.

Turkey day came and went and we did our fair share of celebrating. On turkey day proper we had a few people over for pizza and merriment. A great time was had by all even though no one ordered turkey pizza. On Saturday we went to the Marsh's house for their annual American Thanksgiving (come to think of it, are there any other kinds of Thanksgiving?). As in the previous years, it was filled with lots of traditional foods and lots of friends. The Marshes always put in a lot of work to feed the twenty or so people that attend and we certainly appreciate it.

Our apartment is filling with Christmas decorations and holiday music. We are getting into the holiday spirit and we need only one last piece to finish the puzzle; a christmas tree. The last time we had a Christmas tree was in NYC. We are long overdue.

Our new tree stand

Frankfurt's Christmas market opened a few days ago and we are very excited to go see it. It looks like we'll get over there tomorrow. Glühwein and Schneebälle here we come!

Have a great week and I'll talk to you next Tuesday!
