My Favorite Baby Doll

At Thanksgiving my sister and brother got up in my parent's attic and found some treasures! One was our baby dolls that Michelle and I had when we were little. Michelle had a blond haired baby and I had a brown haired baby. I love this baby doll! She of course now has some major hair issues:
I remember one time that my brother marked all over her face with a magic marker but the heat from the attic must have slid the ink off because it's not there anymore . . . or my mom found some cleaner to get it off. This baby doll is famous because she played baby Jesus in my kindergarten Christmas play. I was Mary and my next door neighbor John played Joseph.

My sister also found our cats that we played with. Unfortunately we only had one of these so my sister graciously let me have it. I think Mama Kate (a family friend) made this for us. It's a baby cat and mama cat in their own little bed that has attached pillows. I loved playing with them as a child. Don't you love the 70s fabric that it was made out of!Fun memories! I've got to find some better baby clothes for my doll. I think what's on her now is my sister's robe when she was a baby.
