Behold Lilly —my cute, button-nosed and raven-haired cousin — hugging the ivory DS Lite I gave her for her birthday, along with a copy of Nintendogs and Animal Crossing.

Her fraternal twin Aunna does not like cameras, so though delighted with her gift, she would not deign to look up from her virtual puppy and smile at the camera. She will be a surly punk rock heartbreaker as a teenager, let me assure you.

Of course, I'll have my revenge: here's what Aunna's beautiful smile looked like at one week old.

Thanks for your help, guys! They were delighted. The gift card read "To Aunna and Lilly, From Flor, Love Kotaku!" Florian Eckhardt
