Well, when Kelly, Derek, Heather and Trevor showed up they surprised Kent with his Christmas present from all of us. We had gotten him a new German Shepard puppy to replace Apollo. He was so surprised and happy! 
Kent absolutely loves this puppy and the two of them have bonded very well. It took Kent about 4 days before he finally decided on a name for this cute dog, but in the end Bubba was the name he chose. He is getting used to the cows, but he isn't too fond of Mr. Kitty yet! So our Christmas vacation was filled with playing with Bubba and taking him out to relieve himself!!We had a fun time with Heather, Trevor, Kelly, and Derek here. We had our Christmas dinner on Saturday, went to Church on Sunday at the Singles Ward, and on Monday had Heather and Trevor open their presents. Seems Baby Hess got the most presents!
We got tons of snow over break so Derek, Kelly, Kent, and Bubba went tubing on the 24th. They had a great time and wore the puppy out. Well, after we opened our gifts on Christmas day, we all get tubing ago, even Bubba! He really liked it, especially when he got to sit on our laps going down the hill. 
Mike's brother had a basketball in Boise on the 27th, so we took Kelly over and watched the game with all the Williams, then Mike came home with us. He went to Church the next day with us and then he and Kelly went back to Jerome. Seems Kelly isn't going back to BYU this semester, but is going to be living in Jerome and working. Rumor has it that she may be getting married in May?? Once it becomes "official" we will let everyone know :)

Well, Derek got to stay longer with us than the rest of the kids. The three of us went the Humitarian Bowl in Boise and watched Nevada play Maryland. The weather was good, no rain or snow, and it didn't get too cold until thr 4th quarter. One bad thing happened at the game though. I lost my cell phone when i went to flush the toilet and my phone fell out of my pocket and away it went!! It was too funny I had to laugh. Seriously, what could I do. Well, the holidays are over and everyone has left us, except for Bubba. In just 3 weeks he looks like he has grown a lot!! He is going to be a big dog.
