My youngest "indian" helped set the table before our Thanksgiving meal.
Since we weren't quite ready to eat, the kids occupied themselves by decorating a gingerbread house. It looked so good that we ate it for dessert an hour later!
The next day, we put up the tree and got the house ready for Christmas. Although our youngest is almost 8 yrs old, she still loves to play with the nativity set.
Wonderful Advent blessings!
