Berlin's Bears
Back in January, Keith went to the Berlin city museum with his German class. The museum has two bears that live there since the bear is the symbol of Berlin.

KaDeWe
KaDeWe is Kaufhaus des Westens, the second largest department store in Europe, with Harrod's being the largest. It is enormous and very impressive. We've been there a couple of times, including during the Christmas season.
Here's what the ground floor looked like:
There was a man walking around dressed as an old-school Santa.
On one of the higher floors of KaDeWe, a harpist was dressed as an angel and was playing Christmas carols:
The second floor from the top has almost every food imaginable. It has sections for different regions of the world and different counters where different cuisines can be eaten. The top floor is another eatery with a soaring glass ceiling. We treated ourselves with delicious desserts after our long day of Christmas shopping:

Happy Birthday to me!
I celebrated my birthday with a week of festivities. The weekend before I got my birthday presents from Keith (beautiful earrings and a puzzle). The day of, he made me a delicious bacon, blue cheese and egg sandwich for breakfast (seen below) and this lasagna for dinner: http://smittenkitchen.com/2012/02/lasagna-bolognese/
At work, I had a really nice party with cake and sparkling wine! My co-workers gave me flowers, a gift certificate, a book and tickets to a museum, which was all very unexpected. The weekend afterwards we had people over for a really great party. Everyone joined together to give me flowers and a gift certificate to a restaurant where you eat in complete darkness.

Snow!
Even though the weather has been beautiful this weekend (in the 60s and sunny), a month ago I was just as excited about snow:

Attempting to take a Christmas picture
We thought it would be really cute to get a picture of Josie and Loki wearing antlers and a Santa hat, respectively. Our attempts at obtaining such a picture were unsuccessful.
First, Josie ate the top off of Loki's Santa hat. Then, she wouldn't sit still on the couch:
Next, Lokie refused to wear his hat-turned-collar:
So we tried getting just a picture of Loki:
Notice how he's pushing away from Keith, attempting to break free. Notice here the stare of death:
This was our best shot:
Being adorable is hard work:
The situation degraded quickly:

Look what we found underneath our walls
We bought a new coat rack on Saturday, so we took down the old coat rack. It was glued to the wallpaper in addition to being screwed into the wall, so when we removed the rack from the wall, it ripped off the top layer of wallpaper, exposing this beautiful pattern.
