Our good friends Dustin and Echo Yates blessed their beautiful baby Brooklyn Dawn Yates on Sunday. Brock got the opportunity to stand in the blessing circle. Dustin did an amazing job. He's such a cute daddy.

That was BJ.

Then of course, Daddy went overboard as usual and got Mommy a laptop. :)

Also we got us some new bedding for Christmas. This was supposed to be our big gift to each othe. It looks a lot prettier in person than it does in this picture.

Christmas Eve

We had a fun party on Christmas Eve at the Petersens. We had YUMMY Cheeseburger Soup and then we played "Minute to Win It" games. That was tons of fun! Whenever we won a game we got to pick a present from under the tree. Some were guy gifts and some were girl gifts and some were for either. Emma had her own stash of presents under there too that she got to open through the night.

Reindeer antlers

Movies: The Great Mouse Detective, Beauty and the Beast, and Santa Pups the Search for Santa Paws.

Zoey doing a minute to win it game. It was a puzzle where all the pieces were cut in a rectangle. It is actually harder than it sounds.

The Start of Christmas

We started our Petersen Christmas with a trip on the frontrunner to Temple Square and dinner at Tucano's.
