Jesse Tree Ornament Exchange

Last night the Wilkins Family held our 2nd Annual Jesse Tree Ornament Exchange. A few years ago my Mom thought it would be fun if each family made an ornament that reflected a scripture or gospel theme important to their family that year. For our November FHE we explain our ornament and give each family one. At the end we all have 9 new ornaments. We have enjoyed this new tradition and hope to continue it. 1. Mom and Dad -- D&C 64:9-10 (4-give and 4-get)
2. Kimball, Tiffin and family -- 2 Nephi 2:26-27 (Don't leave life to chance. Make good choices.)
3. Rob, Heidi and family -- Genesis 1:27 (Adam and Eve, the Creation)
4. Nathan, Amanda and family -- Mosiah 4:13 (Live peaceably)
5. Michael, Allison and family -- Ether 3 (The Brother of Jared, Faith)
6. Scott, Katie and family -- Galations 5:13 (by LOVE serve one another)
7. Ben and family -- D&C 121:34-36 (Keys of the Priesthood)
8. Patrick, Kelli and family -- Hymn #294 (Love at home)
9. Mike and Kristi -- D&C 85:3 (Tithing)
