Gavin experienced the wonderful shopping frenzy that is Black Friday today. Gmummy was up early for Penney's door busters, but Gavin and Mommy joined her at the late hour of eight o'clock at Triangle Town Center. After finding some deals inside the mall, we headed to the outside commons where we were pleasantly surprised to find bright orange leaves still on trees and Gavin stretched his legs for a while.

Here, Gavin demonstrates his "don't shoot, Officer, I'm innocent" walking style.

This is so much more fun than riding in that stroller, Gmummy!

I have a leaf now. I am perfectly content.

Bee-you-tee-ful autumn trees still strutting their stuff.

A-dor-a-ble Gavin strutting his stuff.

Walking + leaf = Happy Gavin

I love this photo of my son and my mommy. :)

So many leaves. So little time.

The day was far from over. From the mall, we headed to Babies 'R Us, met up with Aunt Kristen for lunch at Sweet Tomatoes, and shopped some more at Bed Bath & Beyond, Lowe's, and Target. We finally returned home at two. Gavin was an excellent shopper, as usual!
