Oh Christmas Tree!

I have a ton to catch up on, but first I wanted to get this story down before I forget it! Last night Tim and I went with a bunch of his family to the new Twilight movie and so my parents came over and watched the kids for us. The movie was at 8pm, so it wasn't early in the day or anything. Well, Kylan had been begging me all day to get the tree out. I kept telling him I couldn't because 1) it's too heavy for me and 2) it was buried in the very back of the storage shed behind my sis-in-law and bro-in-laws stuff. So Ky being Ky asked grandpa if he would put up the tree and at first he said no, then Kylan kept asking and finally he said he didn't know where it was. Kylan told him it was in one shed, so they went and checked and it was the wrong shed. They came back in and Ky convinced him to go out to the other shed. They started out and right when they got across the porch coyotes started howling. My dad said Kylan turned around and ran back to the house, got in and jumped on grandma's lap and then said "There are coyotes howling out there and grandpa was a little scared of them!" My dad thought for sure he wouldn't go out again, but sure enough about 10 minutes later he told grandpa "I think we can go back out now." They somehow found the tree in the mess and got it up for us. After it was all up he made them all hold hands and sing "Oh Christmas Tree" around the tree (would have loved to see that). Then, Kylan was too excited to go to sleep because he wanted to see how surprised Tim and I were when we got home! It was so sweet and he was so brave to go back out after he had heard the coyotes! And I think his grandpa loves him just a little bit! Now I chuckle everytime I look at the tree!
