This year we celebrated Christmas in Mieres with Pablo's family. We headed up north around noon on Christmas eve with the car jam-packed with almost everything we own. We ended up running into a lot of traffic getting out of Madrid so our journey took a little longer than we'd have liked but we took our time and stopped a couple times to enjoy the snow along the way.
In the mountains of Madrid there was a nice dusting of snow and it was very pretty. Once we got to the mountains of Asturias we ran into quite a few inches and it was beautiful. |

Once we got to Mieres, Mari Carmen was in the kitchen cooking up a feast. The house was decorated, the table set, we hung the stockings and it felt like Christmas. While we were waiting for dinner santa came to visit on his bike. It was quite entertaining.

On the menu for Christmas Eve dinner was baked prawns, mussels with tomatoes and garlic, crab pate, seafood soup and lamb. We had white wine, red whine, champagne and a cortante. It was so fancy like our wedding. We ate so much!
