The first day of December fell on a Saturday. We spent part of the day putting up our Christmas tree. It was huge this year! It ended up being my favorite tree that we've had yet. After Josh cut part of the bottom off, it was still 13 1/2 feet tall! We actually used a piece of twine to tether it to the banister "just-in-case". : )
Josh and I put the lights on. It was kind of hard to do on the upper part of the tree because it was so big to reach around, but we got them all on.
The kids had fun putting the ornaments on. Quinn really got into it. He also had fun taking them back off through the month. ;) The whole bottom section ended up pretty bare at times.
And then came the star...
That afternoon we got ready and headed up to Salt Lake to see the lights at Temple Square. It was such a nice evening. It wasn't cold and we were able to walk around and see the lights without freezing. We stopped and listened to a choir singing in the Assembly Hall for a bit and we walked across the street to City Creek Center to have some dinner. We even ended up running into my aunt and uncle who were up there to see the lights too. :) Such a fun day!
