Sinterklaas video!

Here's a play by play of how crazy fun our Sinterklaas evening was.

Just a few disclaimers before you watch:
1. This video is mostly in Dutch
2. It's 19 minutes, and was not edited because we thought our family in Holland would enjoy the whole "show"
3. Filmography is not my thing, so excuse the moments where I forgot that I was videoing and not taking pictures!

And last but not least, I will give you Americanos a background on what happens in the beginning of the movie. On pakjesavond (presents evening) a "zwarte piet" will knock on your door and throw cookies and candy inside and leave a bag full of presents by the door. I guess the Dutch thought it was more practical to drive around leaving presents at the door instead of making reindeer fly and having Santa get covered in soot from the chimney!

Finally... the feature presentation for your viewing pleasure!
