Christmas

Christmas was so fun this year, being that it was Sydney's first. Jason's parents' and sister Stephanie came over for lunch on Christmas Eve Day. We had our traditional German Coldcuts. They were so good!!! Then we went to Nephi Christmas Eve for Grandma Bateman's traditional clam chowder. It started to snow as we headed down there. Inside the Spirit prompted me to turn back around, but as usual, I didn't listen. So we ended up getting snowed in and had to spend the night. It was so blizzardy. We couldn't see in front of us and the wind was strong. We almost made it to the freeway. We turned around and slept at Jason's parent's house. We went to Grandma Bateman's in the morning for the tradional breakfast casserole. It was so good!!! Then we headed home around 10am. I have to admit something. Even though I was sad about sleeping in Nephi, we had a lot of fun. We came home to a driveway of snow to shovel. After that, we got cleaned up and opened presents. We decided to try out our dvd camcorder and record this special occasion. That was interesting. One minute Jason thought it was recording and it wasn't. Then he thought it wasn't, and it was. He got it figured out and we got most of it on tape. I had Sydney on my lap opening presents. After a few, she was pretty bored. Jason suggested I put her in the swing and she was happy the rest of the time. Of course she fell asleep before we were done opening presents. Jason's parents' got Sydney a Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal, just like his Grandma got him for his first Christmas. She loves Pooh! Sydney got so spoiled this year!
