Beautiful Temple Square

If you have never had the opportunity to see Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah at Christmas you are missing out! I took these photos a week or so ago….and it doesn’t do it justice.

The lights are everywhere and in every color. It is spectacular!

This one is a little blurry but still pretty.

I love going to temple square and feeling the spirit there…it is like no other place on earth.

There is a very large nativity scene on temple square where they play beautiful Christmas music and a recording about the Savior’s birth that…reminds me of the reason why we celebrate Christmas.

President Henry B. Eyring said this:

It is my prayer that the Spirit will bless us this Christmas and in the years to come with the power to offer other gifts of love and of the testimony of Jesus Christ and His restored gospel. I know that the Spirit can lead each of us in many and simple ways to give love, faith, and joy to others at this season of rejoicing.

I testify that Jesus Christ was the literal Son of God and the Savior of the world. He was the perfect gift from our loving Father. At this and every season, our Savior invites us to join with Him and others to offer the priceless gift of joy.

I pray that we will.

May you all feel the love and joy of the savior.

Merry Christmas everyone

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
