Well, we didn't do anything super crazy and Cajun. But Mr. Cowboy's family sure knows how to fry up a turkey and make rice dressing along with some cornbread dressing. Lots of dressing. And guess what? No stuffing! Can you believe it? It was hard for me to realize that at first but really they don't cook a stuffing. They don't do mashed potatoes either. So, I make my own and bring those to dinner. I have to have mashed potatoes. Anyway, here are some pictures from our Thanksgiving meal. We eat around noon. What time do you eat? Growing up we ate Thanksgiving dinner at dinner time, 6pm.
We had one deep fried turkey, one oven baked turkey, and one ham. All three were delicious! The fried turkey was my favorite. While we waited for all the food to be ready. This is what people did to pass the time.
Mr. Cowboy scoped out the Black Friday Sales and figured out where he was going to shop.
Tina played some Farm Town. Her farm is fabulous. I am a Farm Town failure. I can't do it. Well, I don't have time to do it. I would rather blog, and I haven't had much time for that either!
The kids played!
It was Jules's birthday! The turned three.
Little Cowpoke was so excited it was her birthday.
Cowpokette stole some turkey bites.
So did Paw Paw.
Great Grandma helped get the food out and ready.
Then it was time to eat!! YUM!!! There was so much food!! The kids all sat at the Kids' Table.
Then the grown ups got to dig in!It was so good. After dinner we did a small birthday party for Jules.
It was a so fun. Then Paw Paw hooked up his big horse, Prince, to the wagon and took us all for a ride.
Paw Paw has trained Prince all by himself. He went from not knowing a thing about draft horses and pulling wagons, to going on trail rides just about every weekend. Paw Paw has always loved horses and riding and since he lost his leg he hasn't been able to do much riding. So, it's really neat that he now gets to go on all the trail rides with his horse. Oh, and Paw Paw built his wagon too!! Pretty neat huh!!
He even is a pretty good driver!
Red wanted to know where we were going. He always gets left behind. Poor guy.
This guy was too cool to sit at first, he rode on the back. Oh to be 13 again........
We passed some snotty cows. Just look at her!! She walks around with her nose in the air!
"
You will never see me hooked to a wagon pulling around crazy Cajuns!" 
We kept on traveling down the road. I couldn't imagine traveling by horse and wagon anymore. It would take me an entire day to just get to the grocery store. We then passed the most adorable mini EVER!
He went crazy when we passed him! Just look how cute those legs are!!!
Then he BUCKED!! Oh, NFR watch out!!! Ha ha ha ha!!
He was just too adorable!!
The teenager girls that rode with us. Oh my, how I don't want my girl to grow up!!
Little Cowpoke loved the ride. He got to sit shotgun with Paw Paw. We then traveled back home and fed the mares. Poor Pearl just looks like she is getting old.
She had the last year and a half off to have her last baby. Now it's back to rodeo for her. He is going to be Little Cowpoke's and Cowpokette's horse. Little does she know, her lazy days are soon to be over.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! The countdown to Christmas Begins!!
It's actually pretty exciting. I grew up where folks were die hard Ohio State University fans. And now, I am surrounded by Louisiana State University fans. But by having friends who are die hards, means I get to go to the games for free!! It was my first ever Tiger's game!
The stadium was really packed. But not as full as usual. There were 93,000 fans there that night! They were loud and so fun!
I couldn't imagine sitting up at the top! Those are true fans that sit up there!
We had good seats. We sat right to the side of the purple goal line. 
Not too shabby! We got there just in time for half time. We were running a bit late. I enjoyed halftime. Being that I was in marching band. I watch those kids out on the field and thing to myself how I should have marched in band in college. I would have had a blast
The LSU Band was about the same size as my high school marching band. It brought back some good memories. Well, we didn't have all those flag girls. Our director didn't like flag girls. 
We did have majorettes. Those were the Golden Girls. They were skinny, pretty, and probably freezing their tails off. 
There are the trumpets. That is what I played! And I even marched on the 20 yard line! I know, I am such the band geek!
They were pretty good. It was perfect timing. We went to the game with our friends and their kids. They are the ones who had the tickets. They are season ticket holders.
Sorry her husband isn't in focus, I had my zoom lens on. And their son and his new girlfriend went too. 
She is a nice girl. She dyes her beautiful red hair black!!! My husband LOVES redheads and gasped when he saw what she did to her lovely locks. He told her how much he LOVES red heads. I smacked him. 
After half time it was finally time to watch some football. The game was actually pretty uneventful until it went into over time!! That is where there were some awesome hits with helmets flying and men being pulled straight out of the air! It was pretty sweet!
But I didn't get any pictures of the really cool stuff.
I did manage to get a picture of one man who just fell over after he got in the line up! Yep, he hit the dust!
See him there? He is the one inside the red circle! Now watch him go down!
Oppsy!! It was like his arm gave out! But he hopped right back up and went in for a tackle! 
That is one big boy!! I guess my arm might give out if I would lean on it like that too. Or maybe it was a way to syke out his opponent?
P Dog would get mad and yell at the football players and then look up at the screen as if it would tell him magical things. It was pretty entertaining!
But in the end we won!! Hooray! It was a really fun night. I even got the kid in front of me to pose! He has known my friends ever since he was a little baby! His parents are also season ticket holders and have had the spot in front of my friends for years!
Geaux Tigers!
They won back the golden BOOT!
It was a fun night. 
I know can say I have been to an LSU game.
