As many of you recall, one of the items on Lauren's Wish List to Santa was a doll that "peeps and poops" as she calls it. Well...Santa delivered and Lauren was thrilled when she opened her doll on Christmas morning.
The day after Christmas, Lauren fed her doll for the first time. She was very careful to get the food in the mouth and give her baby water after each spoonful.
After the feeding, the baby's diaper became full and I had the honor of changing the baby's first "poopey" diaper. Much to Lauren's disappointment, the "poop" was a yellow liquid (the "food" was pears). Kate asked where the poop was since the yellow must be the "pee." I explained that the "pee" would be clear and that the yellow was supposed to be the "poop" from the pear food. Throughout the conversation, Lauren continued to ask how to make the doll "poop." Obviously they weren't prepared for the fact that a baby doll's bowel movements are a little different than their own.
During the day they were treated to a viewing of Max and Ruby in their sleep attire. I think the kids would wear their pajamas everyday if allowed...but then again, who wouldn't?!

The girls were so excited to see all of the snow out the windows and couldn't wait to get outside. Snow activities included snow angels, snow ball fights, being pulled in the sled, eating the snow, and simply lying in the "fluffy white stuff" that covered the ground. The girls even managed to help Dad clear off the car.
I must admit, I even got in on the fun and built a snowman!
