The Eve of Christmas Eve...

we spent making tamales. They are so much work, but so much worth it. Every year my in-laws get together to make tamales and I happily join them. We always end up laughing so hard it hurts. I love it ! and I am so grateful for all of them. I wish I had some pictures to share, but we get right down to the dirty work and only get a little break. And we always enjoy it with a cup of coffee and some sweet mexican bread. or we warm up some tortillas and steal some of the meat we use to put in the tamales. Oh so YUMMMM....

I hope that all this hard work pays off one day and that I can get the recipe down to the smallest little detail so that one day I can do my own tamales. Although, I doubt that it will ever happen, they are seriously a ton of work.

p.s. Dear Job,

I am so glad that we are taking some time off. We really need it. I know you are as tired of me as I am of you, so ENJOY !!! I know I will =) See you monday...
