Jesse Tree

We purchased a beautiful kit from Illuminated Ink a few years ago for our Jesse Tree. Up until then we had made a few false starts on trying to incorporate this in to our advent devotions. This kit having just twelve ornaments with nice explanations for each made it simple enough for me to get my mind around and get started. (I am a bit slow at times ;))
Our tree from last year:We have been saying that we are going add more ornaments to our Jesse Tree collection, but had not gotten around to it. Today, I decided we would get on it. The boys were all pretty cooperative today with their coloring, so we persevered and finished all the ornaments that we want to add on.The ornaments: The kit that we colored today's ornaments from:
*I should add that we colored our ornaments in one day, but we added them to our tree one at a time. Each ornament has a short bible reading that goes with it, so we read that and the boys take turns putting an ornament on the tree- one each day.
