Megan told us that she would like to go see them light up the city tree this year. Since we missed last year we went this year. Unfortunately I forgot the camera so we didn't capture any photos of us freezing outside.
There was a little stage set up with singers, Santa was also there and some other media people. It actually took us awhile to notice where the tree was set up. I kept asking Spencer where is the tree? At first I thought that they might be going more "green" and not chopping down a tree but finally it caught my eye. It actually looked kinda spindly but it is 70 feet tall with over 10,000 lights. So once they flipped the switch it looked really nice. Then immediately afterwards there were fireworks that we enjoyed and then we promptly walked into city centre mall to warm up and start to head to the van.
Did I mention that it was -27 degrees out! Ya, we might be a little nuts. But this is the official start to our Christmas celebrations....
