No One Likes a Frowny Face

No one likes a frowny face!!!

 Change it for a SMILE...

 Make the world a better place by smiling all the while!!!   : )

Clint and I escaped for a quick dinner date the other night only to return and find

one VERY SAD little girl...

Her and her big brother Gavin had been having a very intense competition of JUST DANCE on the Wii...

and sweet little Kambriella was feeling so defeated after losing so many rounds to Gavin...;(

Gavin wasn't being a poor sport, he was just dancing his best...but so was Kambriella!

And she HATED losing!!!

(I think she gets her competitive nature from her dad :)...

OK maybe from her mom too :)

But as soon as we got home and saw the tear stained cheeks and swollen eyes, we KNEW it was time to bring out some smiles!!!

Clint and I took turns dancing with Kambriella and trying to get her to smile...

There were a couple of good ones that came out! ;)

I knew that it would make her feel better to play JUST DANCE against her dad, because she would most likely win playing against him!!!

But he put up a pretty good fight!

 they battled it out...

 ...and then Clint did better than I thought he would...

So, after we played for a while, we just tried to remind Kambriella that we, of course are older and have had more practice at some of these things than she has...

We reminded her that it's fun to just play the game and that you don't always have to win...

And we reminded her that she can do ANYTHING that she puts her mind to, but that it's so important to be a good sport, to NEVER give up trying, and to remember that life is a journey and that we need to enjoy the ride, even if that means we might lose a few rounds of JUST DANCE.

We figured out soon after that too, that a good night's rest works wonders for ANY worn out or emotional little girl! :)

Thank goodness for a good night's sleep, daddy's who will dance with their little girls, and mom's who will let the little ones win. ;)

Once again we are sooo thankful for our family!!!
