St Louis 2010

The kids and I went to St Louis to see Grandma Agnes. 5 days after we got back, she passed away. I'm glad we were able to see her one last time. We didn't take any pictures with her, but here are some of our trip. We'll be heading back out there tomorrow for the funeral and services.

Homemade potstickers

I tried making these last night. Total pain. But they tasted pretty
yummy. Next time I'll either find a pasta roller to use, or buy
premade wrappers cuz the dough was a little thick and became kinda
gummy at times.

I posted another post right before this, since I can only post 1
picture per post ;)

Quilt for Clara

It's a dark picture, and Mollie wouldy move from the bed, but here it
is. She's getting it for Christmas and think it's going to Grammy ;).
It's a lapquilt, but perfect for Clara

The Nutcracker

Here's my little snowball for the second year in a row. I love the
performances twice a year, but I'm exhausted from today and yesterday!
