Thanksgiving 2015

Another new house - another Savage Thanksgiving!  We were down two people this year (missed you Russ and Ed!), but with the Spots it was an overflowing household - good thing Will and Lynn have the space!  The weather was awesome, which allowed kids and adults to run off their energy prior to the big meal.  And on Black Friday, we went with REI and #optoutside for a great hike at Bradbury "Mountain".

We arrived Wednesday afternoon and got a little one on one time with William and the Schobels at Mimi and Papa's house.
