Tamales!

This is the first year Maddie has been able to help with the Ciriza family tradition of making tamales. We have our annual Tamale Party this Saturday and tonight was the night to get the tamales made. I'm not sure how much help we actually were but Maddie loved it!

And William loved it too! He was hilarious. He had masa everywhere...

...which is why our tamale making contribution lasted about 20 minutes. I think Grandma was actually happy to see us go so she and Russell could get busy with getting the tamales made. It is definitely a laborsome process. I think each year we will be a little more help... so fun. I love that this is an annual, family tradition.
