Christmas is for the birds..and squirrels, and raccoons, etc.

Emily had the idea of putting a tree for the birds on our patio this year. After a somewhat nutballs trip to WalMart for supplies, she and Abby worked together to decorate it (in Emily's signature colors), and then created some bagel/peanut butter/birdseed decorations to hang on it. The girls had lots of fun and apparently the animals enjoyed it - all the bagels were gone the next day! We saw a squirrel kicked back and munching on a bagel on the railing when we got home. I think it gives our boys something fun to watch during the day! We keep replenishing the tree with various leftovers from the pantry and are amazed by how quickly everything disappears. One of my friends told me that no good deed goes unnoticed - which means that I'll probably be rewarded for feeding the animals with an infestation of raccoons in my attic!
