Tonight was the big night for the Jesse tree celebration, the students have practiced so hard to do a good job. Grades 1 through six make ornaments representing a bible character and as the character is read the students put their ornament on the tree. The tree will be on display in the gathering room of the church throughout Advent. The students did a fantastic job reading the bible parts. Before the celebration we read the gospel for this coming Sunday and we talked about the Advent wreath. I made each student an edible wreath. I made cut-out sugar cookies the shape of a wreath and frosted them with green icing. For the candles I colored some store bought fondant and rolled it around toothpicks. It was very time consuming but well worth the effort.
