Poker Face

We thought it would be fun to play cards with Natalie, so we taught her how to play poker.  We went with 5-card draw to keep things simple.  And we made it a matching game, so there were no straights, flushes, etc.  Both daddy and Natalie have a pretty solid poker-face.

Natalie was struggling to hold all five cards, so she laid them out behind a wall.

She was super excited to reveal her cards, especially when she had pairs.

And very eager to help keep score, which entailed awarding smiley faces for winning a hand.

 A little sample of how the night went...

 And after three hands, the little booger whipped out this Full House.

At the end of the night, Daddy won (as usual). But as Natalie went to bed, she was asking "Can we play again tomorrow?  Like all day?"
