Christmas Tamales

Every year at Christmas we try to make tamales. Justin learned how to make them when he was in Texas on his mission. It takes several hours of preparation. The kids had a good time helping this year. They were old enough to help spread the masa, put the meat on and wrap up the husks. Here are some pictures of all their hard work.

A Bad Combination

My girls are learning to crochet. You know what is not a good combination with yarn. Devin. Last night he got their yarn and hooks and throughly entertained himself I like how the yarn is hooked over his ear. Notice his cars are tangled up in the mess. Actually it is a safety hazard. I had to talk to Riley about not leaving her yarn unattended so he doesn't get all wound up in it. Now Riley has a huge ball of knots!
