Deck the Walls 2022: Christmas at the Ranch

The Boudreaux bunch came together at Andrew’s family ranch in December for the annual “Deck the Walls.” Decorating gingerbread houses and exchanging gifts were the central events, but sitting around the bonfire and eating barbecue came in second for the adults. The cousins loved playing outside in the afternoon, and that night, riding around the ranch in the back of the pickup truck bundled up in blankets. The poor cows, looking stunned like deer in the headlights, had to clear the road for us. To cap the day, our kiddos entertained us with karaoke. I joined in with a reading of Cajun Night Before Christmas. Of course, the adults stayed up late playing cards, a Boudreaux tradition. We all looked forward to the morning with breakfast, and for the early risers, a run around the ranch.
