Yesterday we all got together to make tamales for Christmas. Actually the work started before that - 
Tito cooked and shredded the pork
and went to the Mexican market and bought the massa. We have never made our own massa - it is easier to buy it premixed.
The corn husks soaking in hot water, the pork with the chilies and onions added
The process, the massa spread on a corn husk, the filling added, wrapped in the husk and tied
The assembly line
Kaiden helping by playing
A pot of the tamales steaming
The reward!
