Hi! I'm Faith...

Before our Snow Day, Faith gets to explore the Dolltown environment. She is a little surprised at the cold, and all the snow. But we know we have to have our snow play day soon because our weather fluctuates and the snow can disappear in the blink of an eye. Well, overnight sometimes.
