Until then we'll just fill the poor little thing with all kinds of ornaments.<br /><br />Keri, we always have dinner together. It's just one of the things we do. We also have "Bible Time" after teeth are brushed and pjs are on. My husband is in charge of this. He reads a scripture and we pray together. It's super simple. But it makes doing the Jesse Tree easy because my guys are already in the habit. <br /><br />If dinner doesn't work for your family, maybe you could do it at breakfast. Also, if your kids are used to sitting for a devotional you could just use the ornaments. Find some children's books that go along with the verses and read one of those each time instead of the devotional. And if you only do 5-10 days this month that's still a success! You, your family, talking about your faith - that's what's important. :DStephanie Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976709475515458563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-70767496504294835062011-11-28T21:07:07.519-05:002011-11-28T21:07:07.519-05:00I printed it out last year, but we only made it ab...I printed it out last year, but we only made it about halfway through. It isn't ever night that we have a family dinner, so that makes it a little tricky. And, my boys are still a little too young for the readings to be easily understood. But, we're gonna try it again this year.Keri Welchhttp://popparables.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-35530386668894664442011-11-28T19:00:27.148-05:002011-11-28T19:00:27.148-05:00Planning to start ours tonight!

Micah's tree (a small one) is our Jesse Tree. We only put Jesse Tree ornaments on it--it's special when I see the kids looking at it and talking about it! Enjoy yours!!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10895108064130276919noreply@blogger.com
