For Jake's birthday I tried to surprise him but it failed as usual...
I gave him tickets to go see Brian Setzer's Christmas Extravaganza in Las Vegas. We had an awesome room at the Mandalay Bay. Can't exactly complain about the 31st floor. We got a killer deal...apparently no one wants to be in Vegas on the 23rd of December. But man was that a great show!! They had these giant screens before the show where you could email in pictures and stuff...we sent this and they played it over and over again...
We laughed and lauhged each time.
The crowd was fun. People young and old rockin out to good ol' fashioned rockabilly style Christmas tunes. Brian Setzer is the man! And his orchestra is awesome!
The newest member to the Hess home- The Shark Navigator. I've been wanting one of these and bought it for my own birthday! They were selling it at Kohls for $239 and somehow I walked out of there buying it for $135! I am an EXCELLENT shopper.
I highly reccommend this big purple dirt eater...
I love it already!!

If anyone would like tips on how to be an effective shopper- please contact me for details.

Nice job guys! Happy B-lated Birthday to Jaker-doodle! Sounds like a pretty sweet b-day, and I'm loving the deal on the Shark. What's your secret? Did you sign up for a Kohls card?! Been thinking about you guys a lot lately!
