Jordan-4
It was that time of year again, Christmas time. The malls would be packed with shoppers, the ground would be covered with white fluffy cold snow.
Jordan had asked for father for the past week if he would take her to the mall to see Santa she wanted Erin and Justin to go with them, one night Hank decided to have a family dinner with Erin, Jordan, and Justin. Jordan was telling them about her time in pre school after a couple of minutes Hank then wanted to make an announcement.
"Jo on my next day off I'll take you to see Santa at the mall but you have to be good alright". Hank tells his daughter.
"Ok ok I promise I'll be good daddy". Jordan said excitedly.
"So Jordy what do you want Santa to bring you for Christmas". Erin asked, taking a sip of her drink.
"A puppy or a kitten".
"Jo a pet is a lot of work, you have to feed it, clean it, walk it, are you sure you're ready for that?" Justin asked.
"I'm ready".
A few days later
It was Hank's day off and just as he promised he would take Jordan to the mall, Erin and Justin had even tagged along so they could get their last minute Christmas shopping done. While they went to shop Hank had took his daughter to center of the mall where Santa was they had to wait in a short line, he saw that his young daughter was excited she kept bouncing up and down. After a few minutes it was Jordan's turn.
"Go on Jo I'll be waiting right here for you". Hank tells his daughter.
The four year old had went to the chair where the Santa had sat.
"Hello little one, what's your name". The Santa said.
"I'm Jordan". Jordan replied shyly.
"What would you like for Christmas Jordan?"
"A puppy or a kitten".
"I will see what I can do".
Jordan then sat next to him as the picture was taken, once the picture was taken Hank paid for the pictures and then they left. Erin and Justin were finished with their shopping, Erin had gotten Jordan some new outfits, Justin had gotten her some new toys and books. They then met up with Hank and Jordan at the food court for lunch, Jordan told them about her short visit with Santa and then showed them the pictures. Hank had a smile on his face he enjoyed the time with his family
2 weeks later
It was Christmas morning, Jordan woke up excitedly she went and woke up her father, brother and Erin, they all chuckled as they went down stairs to open the presents. Jordan started opening her presents rapidly, she tore the wrapping paper and threw it to the side every time, she had gotten a bunch of toys from Justin and Hank, a few outfits from Erin, then Hank pulled out one more gift.
"Here's the last one Jo". Hank says.
"Thank you daddy". She replied.
She ripped the wrapping paper off and saw that it was a fur real pet dog.
"That is so cute Hank". Erin said.
"Well I figured until she's a bit older this should do for now". He replied.
"Thank you daddy". Jordan then hugged her father.
"You're welcome Jo, Merry Christmas".
She then went to Erin and Justin hugging them. They spent the rest of the day watching Christmas movies.
