Family Game Night (Chandler Arizona Family Photographer)

On family game night, Sammy and Alex raid the game closet and talk about who's going to win all the games.  The competitiveness has begun, but Mike (my husband) and I try to make it stop as it starts.  Unfortunately, a teary eyed NON-WINNER (aka Loser) stops the fun for everyone.  I cherish the days of simple fun like Candyland.  We are all about Life & Monopoly in this house.  The kids are becoming pros at strategy.  

Here the pulled out the everybody will somehow be a winner game: Rock'em Sock'em Robots.  It doesn't take much to make your opponents plastic head fly up.   It's a great one to start to make them both feel like winners.
