Caroline drew these on the first Sunday of Advent
She plans to draw a flame on another candle on the wreath each Sunday

Ornaments hung on the Jesse Tree (we are doing the daily readings along with the Holy Heroes kids)

Thank you for linking to the Jesse Tree ornaments! I looked around and could only find heirloom handmade sets to order for $$$$ or printables that weren't free!
Not sure I will add it this year since this is our first year doing an Advent wreath, don't want to add too much in one year...but I am definitely going to print this out to use next year!
Let me know if you figure out how to print it without the bottom row of ornaments running off the page!!
