We usually try to get to Temple Square on the first Monday (Family Home Evening) after Thanksgiving. This year we weren't able to and so we went on the first Tuesday after, and it was a lot less busy (although there were quite a few Young Women/Young Men church groups there).
Can I just tell you how much we love this little "sit/stand" stroller. The thing definitely takes a beating, but it can fit all of the boys if need be. We definitely got some funny looks this night, but they boys thought it was great. I thought it was hilarious! We fit all four boys on that thing!
My MIL came along with us, which is always fun to have her.
Josh stopping for some teaching moments.
We each had the assignment to find our favorite tree and it was split between the one above, and the one below.
I am a huge fan of the huge red tree. Some years they haven't done this one and it is always sad. I was happy to see it this year.
I always try to get artistic with the camera. I wish I were better at shooting at night...something to aim for.
Behind Palmer are shepherds, sheep and cows. McKay has just learned what a cow is and what it says so there was a lot of mooing from our boys to try and get McKay to moo. I am sure we got some crazy looks.
Sure love my sweet boys.
McKay was very interested in the luminaries.
After Temple Square we headed over to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building to check out their huge gorgeous tree.
We also went to the huge Deseret Book across from temple square to check out their window displays (which were awesome) and get gingerbread cookies and fill bags of candy...which is one of our traditions. They have a very fun candy counter there that we can't resist.
It was such a fun night and a great way to start our holiday season.

I need to get a stroller like yours! It's so...stream-lined! :) I also need to get my family ou to Temple Square. My kids are anxious to see the lights! P.S. Where did you get your stroller? It really is a thought to get one for my three youngest!
With all the snow storms we have been hearing about on the news, I thought there would be tons of snow. It looks like you all had fun. I love christmas lights.
Super fun . . . we took the girls last Wednesday - it was dead on temple square which I loved and we arrived at about 5 pm so we could leave once we were cold!
I know what you mean about shooting in the dark - I am still learning to - in fact I had to call my SIL to ask some questions - basically should have brought my tripod!
And great tree choices - we loved the red one!
Lynette-you will love the stroller. We just got it at Toys R Us. Mary-I know, so strange we don't have any snow. I am definitly hoping for it soon! Catherine-That sounds like you hit the perfect time! We might need to look into that day next year :)
So fun! I love the lights too at temple square, I think you need to try for a girl one more time to mix in with all those boys =)
So fun! We are headed down there tomorrow! So excited! I love that big red tree too. They call it the Cedar of Lebanon and only dress it up every other year because it's so huge!
Amanda-I had no idea! That is good to know, I won't get my hopes up to see it next year :)
