I’ve waited for good reason not to make a post until now, and that was so I could attach pictures to the post! First things first, Wesley and I had a great Thanksgiving. We rounded out our Thanksgiving weekend by going to cut down our Christmas tree. We had such a fun time “trimming” our tree, just as we did last year. We went way back in the hills & timber on the ranch and found the perfect tree (after weeding thru a few losers, of course). It was cold outside so we were all bundled up and as we were searching for the perfect tree it started to snow on us…it was quite magical. After cutting it down and trimming the bottom (and trimming some more) we got the tree in the house. And, after having to use string to tie it to the ceiling so it won’t tip over (its top heavy) we have a finished, decorated, cowboy Christmas tree!
Last Friday Wesley and I introduced a new member to our family – the addition of a new puppy we named Jake. Jake is about 6 weeks old. He’s a hanging tree (that’s his breed) cow dog. He is a ½ brother to Jiggs. While Jiggs would like very much to wake up from this nightmare in his little world, we are enjoying the addition of this cute little guy. He has quite the personality, and will definitely let you know when he’s tired, hungry, or needs to go to the bathroom. He only wakes up once a night to go to the bathroom, and is quite snuggly when he gets really tired. Wesley and I spend the evenings tiring Jake out so he sleeps well at night! And when he does get good & tired I spend time holding & snuggling him, because it won't be long before he grows up! Jiggs has been an “only child” for a year now, and this is not sitting very well with him. He has a difficult time being in the same room as Jake, and hates sharing his toys, not to mention his space. In time we know they will become best friends. But for now, we give both babies individual attention so they both feel loved.
We are on the countdown until we come to Texas!! We are SOOO excited to get back to see our family & friends. 23 days and counting! We are equally excited to celebrate our marriage with family & friends down there. Here are a few pictures of the newest member of the Davenport family, as well as our Cowboy Christmas tree! Hope you enjoy!!
P.S. I have more wedding photos too…hopefully I’ll get some time in the next week to post some. In the meantime, go to our photographers website www.brittanputnamphotography.com and find “Wesley & Tiffany’s Winter Wonderland Wedding”…that’s us!! She has some pictures posted to her website as well!

What a precious little cutie!!! He is a doll! I know you guys are having the most fun with him :)
ReplyDeleteLove your tree! Is this your first time to have a real one? It's pretty!
And last, I looked through some more of the wedding pictures. BEAUTIFUL! Your photographer was right... the weather was the perfect backdrop!
Thank you! We are quite fond of him :) This is not the first time for a real tree for me. Growing up we always had real ones, and then when I moved up here we cut our trees down. Its so much fun!
ReplyDeleteIt was a perfect backdrop, even though it was freezing! It was worth it. Thanks for the sweet words!!
