It's a good thing that Gavin likes to shop, because we've been dragging him along on many shopping trips this month! The day after Christmas, Daddy took a well-deserved break from all of us and stayed home while the Ziller women brought Gavin along on our search for after-Christmas deals.

At Triangle Town Center, we had to stop in front of the big outdoor tree for a few snapshots.

The photo above is much like this shot taken in front of a similar tree at the Bell Tower Shops in Florida last year. Gavin's three days overdue here and shopping wasn't as much fun or relaxing then!

Mommy and son...

Aunt Kristen gets in on the picture action (notice all EIGHT of Gavin's teeth!)...

Enough with the cheesy posed photos. I'm ready to walk!

After several hours of shopping, our little trooper started getting bored and wasn't even entertained by the cute activity table in the Hallmark store. Time to go home!
