We went to a party on Christmas!  Here I am with our awesome neighbors Gary and Joni!  And their friends Linda and Tyler!  The men are all so handsome and Joni and Linda are so beautiful and super nice too! The food was awesome and we had PIE for dessert! and afterwards we played pool and Joni and Gary told us all about when they lived in Ghana in Africa! We had a super duper time! 

Also for the holidays I helped mom decorate Dino and the little dinosaurs with twinkling lights. We’ve been told that we have the best decorations in the whole neighborhood! 

Oh Boy oh boy it snowed!!!  I got out my green shovel to help mom clear the walkway and driveway. Good thing mom’s shovel is bigger than mine or I’d be here all day.

Our neighbors Lisa and Kim were taking a walk and stopped by to say Hi!  They are both super nice and super gorgeous!  I think Lisa is a SeaHawk fan!

Auntie Darcy sent us a big package of gifts!!!  But mom FORGOT to take a picture and we have been opening the presents all week (I have a habit of accidentally getting my claws stuck in the wrapping paper) so a picture now would not look like much. Mom also FORGOT to take a picture of me with Tyler who came to the house to fix our gas fireplace that was broken but works super duper now.

At work Chad (the boss) is on vacation so mom and David have been playing music real loud and also having a contest to Guess That Song. One point for the correct title and one point for the band. After they both went into negative numbers it was agreed that no one can lose a point for guessing wrong.

I had to remind mom not to FORGET to take a picture of gifts from people at work.

David gave us a magnetic poetry kit that is for cats! Look at the great poetry we did!  It is really a good thing that Chad is not around so we can devote lots of time to this.

This is such a great time of year!  People wear super holiday outfits!  Here I am am with Mack who is wearing an awesome cat sweater!  But it would be better if it had TIGERS. Mack is really smart and very funny and handsome and is a sharp dresser!

And here I am with Betty who has a great holiday llama sweater.  The llama has earrings or tassels that really swing!  People found that funny I am not sure why.  Betty is super gorgeous and is one of the nicest people we know.

There was a holiday party at work and Santa was there!!!  I got to meet him!!

Here I am with Craig one of the senior engineers. Craig is super nice and super handsome and he received an annual leadership award a few months ago!

Oh boy!  I also got to meet these handsome Marines Brandon and Nate!  At work we collect a lot of gifts and money for Toys For Tots and every year the Marines come to pick up all the gifts and donations. They brought a big truck to load it all!

Then the next day we had a potluck and gift exchange for the third floor it was awesome fun!  Lots of people came and we had the TV showing a fireplace crackling and there was Christmas music and lots of super delicious food! Tigers LOVE potluck parties!

Look at all the desserts!  Having lots of dessert is the most important thing.

These are cookies that Tina made!  They are so beautifully decorated!  Mom said they are too pretty to eat but I had one of the blue snowflakes and it tasted great!

The kittens are growing so fast and getting so big!  They got their booster shots and we found out they are all girls!  Here I am with Daisy and Lucky. Everything is a toy to them.

The littlest kitten is named Acorn and she is attacking me! Ha ha ha!

At work we wrapped up the big phone project by cleaning up all the empty boxes and sending them to the box crusher!  Only special employees can run the box crusher and mom did not even allow me to watch.  Here I am helping David load some boxes onto carts to take to the crusher.  Mom always says that I am a BIG help!

We also took apart all the phone equipment and put it in separate boxes. There were about a thousand handsets and I love to play with the curly handset cables!

Oh Boy!  At work we had a big project to replace every phone (over 100!) and headsets too!  Here I am with KevinC, KevinW, and Jerry unpacking and assembling the phones.  They are all highly experienced professional mechanical assemblers who normally work on large complicated machines but we enlisted their help and they did awesome!  They were also very funny and are all very handsome but not as handsome as me.

Here I am with Matt who came out from the corporate office in St. Louis to help with the project!  Matt is super smart and handsome and lots of fun. He is also a zoologist and used to work in a zoo and knows all about animals especially REPTILES!  He knows all about snakes especially VIPERS. He knows a lot about Tigers too, OF COURSE.

The best thing and the most important thing about big projects is to have lots of snacks. We also got meals from restaurants while we worked!  I LOVE restaurants!

Here is a photo of just a small part of the phones and equipment that got replaced. It was a lot of work to get ready for the project, unpack and assemble the new phones, put out the new equipment, swap it with the old equipment after everyone left for the day, program all the phones, and bring back the old equipment. I was tired! Great job everyone it was a TEAM effort!  Mom says I was a big help!
