Lena Models Hats (and plays cards)

Richard and I flew to Portland to spend Thanksgiving with Amber and family, as we have done for the past 10 years or so. It was a quiet hang-around-the-house type holiday, venturing out occasionally when it briefly stopped raining. We all went shopping at the Columbia Employee Store thanks to an invite from one of the neighbors. It was insanely crowded, but we all found the things we were looking for. Lena wasn't feeling well and was uncharacteristically cranky until we found this adorable hat and she went into Baby Model mode. Try this link for more hats, and to get a real idea of how many cute expressions she can cycle through in about 30 seconds.

I tried playing Pokemon Go while I was there, but nobody else was interested except Lena, who mostly likes swiping through my Pokemon zoo and triggering the animations. But we brought her a special present - her own Pokemon deck. Richard went through his old Pokemon cards and pulled out pairs of the Gen 1 set that are in the Go game. Then he taught her to play Pokemon Concentration. She loved it!  ("I WIN!  Try again?") Larger set of pictures (and an animation) here.
