Found Tamales!!!

This weekend we returned from Africa. Sunday afternoon I hear a knock on the door. I go to answer it and it is our neighbor's son, Kyran. What does he have? The missing box of tamales!! One of the people I had called to help with the tamale mystery was my neighbor up the hill, she had said she was at work and couldn't help. But, she had picked them up on her way home and put them in her freezer. When she saw the car in the drive and knew we were back in town she had them delivered to our doorstep by Kyran. Hallelujah! The tamales have been saved and are now in my freezer so I can enjoy them in the coming weeks (okay, let's be honest...days). Kenyon doesn't really like tamales so this is a treat I get all to myself. 

We also have some Christmas presents waiting for us at UPS, so it's kind of like Christmas all over again. I like it. I think this year we are celebrating 30+ days of Christmas, we've been on the Christmas party circuit since Thanksgiving. This will be the last ho-rah, but I have enjoyed it thoroughly. It is, after-all, my favorite holiday.
