Celebrating Advent: From Creation to the birth of Jesus

Today, we celebrated the 1st Sunday of Advent by reading Genesis 1:26-31 (the creation of our world) and placing the appropriate ornament on our Jesse Tree.  We ended with a simple prayer thanking God, our creator, for making our wonderful world. 

What a sweet family moment and a great way to teach Ella the story of Jesus' genealogy and the history of God's salvation plan--in a toddler format.
