Winter Diversions

Shortly before Christmas, Kyrie's talented godmother and her family came to visit, bringing hot chocolate mix, supervising a snowflake-making session and leaving behind a Darth Vader patterned snowflake that Ben will probably keep forever. Connie also brought us the materials to make birdseed feeders out of pine cones. We did and hung them in trees where they remained undiscovered for during a snowy spell.

A few days later we discovered a squirrel sitting on a branch holding one of them like he had discovered the Holy Grail. He finally succeeded in pulling it down to the ground at which point, someone (Kyrie?) managed to take a video on my phone as he took off. This is a 13 second-long look as he takes his treasure away.
