My Life Among the Women has never been a more appropriate title. Seriously, I hear guys around this time of year talking about spending weekends in a deer stand, but me…it’s a different story.
“Oh my gosh!! Daddy! Daddy!” CB was breathless last week.
“What?” I answered. “It’ll be fine. Don’t tell mommy, and I’m sure we can probably get the stain out. Eventually.”
“No. Daddy. Listen. Jason Castro is going to be at the Domain. They’re lighting the tree. The Big Tree, and Jason Castro.” CB said. “You know, he’s like, my all time favorite American Idol.”
“You mean the long haired Aggie with dreds? High voiced and forgot all his lyrics?” I answered.
CB dropped the exaggerated eye roll on me. I’m getting that a lot more these days.
“What?” I said. “I loved his version of Hallelujah. You know, Leonard Cohen is a musical genius.”
She could sense a lecture coming on and quickly moved on to mommy.
“Mommy. We’re going to the Domain. They’re lighting the tree and Jason Castro is going to be there.”
“Jason Castro?” Al responded. “He’s really cute. We’re there.”
So, you don’t have to guess how my Saturday night went. A little preview.
There was a little more to it. They did have the tree.
And Captain Jack…
Sure, it’s a little random, but he did sweet balloon animals.
MK enjoying the festivities.
The girls kicking it with the big man himself. One of my favorite lines of the evening came from CB. We were enjoying the show when this little boy perched on his dad’s shoulders next to us asked his dad why Santa was there. CB never missed a beat… “To see Jason Castro.” The dad cracked up. “Can’t argue with that.”
Photographic proof that Santa is in fact a Castro fan.
The hippie did slip out amidst the fireworks, but not without Al displaying her mad paparazzi skills.
They managed to light the tree, eventually, and the girls loved it. All in all, a pretty festive evening, and I will have to admit that even I left in the holiday spirit…and with Hallelujah running through my head until New Year’s.
Love all the new pictures. I really want to see Caroline smile real big with her tooth missing:) Looks like everyone had a wonderful time at the lighting of the tree. I’m glad you explained who Jason Castro was since I’m sure Caroline would be highly insulted to know that I had no clue who you were talking about!
I’m not an AI fan, so I had no idea who you were talking about. However, the explanation as to why Santa was there is awesome. Love her! I love the pic of the girls in front of the tree. So pretty.
Another commenter who had no idea who Jason Castro was! ha!
Looks like such a fun time. I love the pic of all three of your beautiful girls in front of the Christmas tree. I can’t believe how big MK is!
I also really loved your Baylor Homecoming post and just revisited it. I’m not always good at leaving comments.
Post more often!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
