I loved this Christmas for several reasons, but one memory I shall cherish is that Jordan was of the age where he was truly happy and content with each gift he got. As soon as he opened a gift, he would play with it until we got him to open another gift. There were times I had to start unwrapping before he would join in. It may seem silly, but in today's society where children just rip open gift after gift and are never satisfied, it warmed my heart to see that my boy, for this moment in time, enjoyed each gift, no matter how big or small. I also cherish this memory because I am sure that next Christmas, he will rip through each gift!
In typical Thompson fashion, Christmas would not be complete without some type of playful ... whatever you shall call it. In the past, we shot nerf guns. This Christmas, David's inventive brother came up with marshmallow guns! My niece got in on the action - following in her daddy's footsteps!
In case you were wondering, Jordan did his part by picking up all the marshmallows that fell to the floor & eating them. :)
