Playing in the Leaves

We enjoyed a nice afternoon outside today. I got some final raking done, and Miranda and Gavin got to enjoy a cool sunny December afternoon in the front yard. We have found that Gavin loves to be outside. It doesn't matter if it is hot or cold, he just loves the feel of a breeze on his cheeks and all the sights and sounds that go along with the outdoors. Gavin kept himself amused by playing with the plentiful leaves and sticks that I had raked into piles.

We waited for the sun to set a bit so that we could get some good light to take pictures of Gavin in the leaves. Please excuse Gavin's outfit - I dressed him this morning. Evidently the racoon shirt wasn't an appropriate match with the overalls according to Mama....Some of the images need a bit of Photoshopping, but we got a few pictures that are workable. That boy needs a haircut though...

Mama let helped Gavin "jump" into the pile of leaves several times...he was giggling like crazy. Then he started bouncing up and down and thrashing around in the pile of leaves. No wonder the little guys was tuckered out at 7:00 tonight. He was a tired little boy and ready for bed early.
