Jesse Tree #12-David

Today we are going to talk about David during our Jesse Tree time.

For our food, we are having...

hot dogs, cut into disks to replicate the five smooth stones

biscuits, rolled out to about twice their size, dipped in melted butter and then dredged in Parmesan cheese for shields (like the one King Saul gave to David to wear) baked about 7 minutes, I think (keep an eye on them)

asparagus for a spear

Rold Gold pretzels...the cheese ones...for praying hands

For the dessert (and remember some are better than others...) we are using
little gingerbread men for David
the Keebler Elf sandwich cookies for Goliath and
m&ms for the stones...

The story of David and Goliath can be found here. Or if you have it, you could watch VeggieTales Dave and the Giant Pickle.

We made a little sling with a stone a few years back for our ornament. You could just use 5 stones...whatever would represent the story to your family.

See you tomorrow...we will be doing Babel, because my kids missed it and we weren't going to do one tomorrow because of a school program. Instead, I decided to back up and do it.
