Last post of 2008!

Ok, so it's technically also the first post of 2009, but since all of the photos are from last year the title is sort of accurate. We spent Christmas with Clara's Oma and Opa. Here are a few walking pictures from Stralsund, first the view from far-out:


then the close up:


Here is Clara at the start of opening presents:


With Uncle Robert and Aunt Nadine:



And snuggling the couch:


There is a waterpark in Stralsund called the Hansedom, we took Clara swimming there for the first time, and she really loved it! A few days later we decided to go again, and that time we took the camera. Unfortunately, we only took it out right before Clara decided it was time to go (see video):







Clara's newest favorite word is "towel." When we got back from Stralsund she learned it and then practiced it over and over and over, "tahhh," "taw," "twww," "tahhl," "tahhhw."



Happy New Year to everyone, and hope to see you in Berlin (or Alberta) soon!
