Oh wow we went hiking on some new trails and I was really hoping to see a cougar!

Look at this tree stump that has rocks in it. I think this is how the cougars leave messages for each other. The rocks hold the messages. Next time I will bring something to write with and leave a note.

While we were hiking it started to snow!

It snowed while we drove home and it is snow magical at home too!

Happy 2016 to Everyone!  First we celebrated with a chili potluck at work!  There were 3 kinds of chili and all kinds of stuff to put on like cheese and onions and sour cream and all kinds of chips and fritos!   OMG tigers love chili and fritos.

We were thinking about going to a party on New Years Eve but mom had to do some work instead. She said to give a big shout out to the Finance Department for that. But that gave me some time to research Korean Tigers they are called Amur Tigers!

Mom has been saying that I should not spend all of my Christmas money on myself I should donate some to a charity so I decided to donate to the tigers!   I will get an adoption certificate and also OMG this beautiful lady tiger OMG!!!  I can hardly wait!!!   We had to use mom’s credit card so I still have my Christmas money.

We wanted to go snowboarding this weekend but there were about a million cars at the ski resort we sat forever in the car just getting off the highway.  Mom was getting growly so we came home and went for a walk it is still very cold out.

Look at the special snowflakes I found on the walk!

Ok first of all yesterday we had to get the car washed it was extremely dirty. We apologized to the car wash operator and gave him a big tip.  Mom says we have enough car wash photos but I LOVE going to the car wash !!

Then when we got home mom made me a new bandana with FLAMES on it!

Then today we went snowboarding again!!!!  So much for the clean car. Here it is totally covered in snow, it was snowing a lot at Snoqualmie!

We met Kate who was skiing with her daughter.  Kate was really nice and beautiful and recognized immediately that I have lots of adventures.

It was a super duper day with excellent snowboarding.   Mom is actually getting better!

Today we went to Snoqualmie Summit yesterday the pass was closed ALL DAY.  There was so much new snow!  Here is a picture of the road near the ski resort you can see how high the snow banks are.

We had the BEST day ever!  There were so many groomed trails but the resort was on generator power so only a couple of lifts were working. We had huge groomed areas all to ourselves and the snow was so awesome!  But mom said we have enough photos of me riding in the satchel. Instead we stopped on the way home to get photos of how beauteous the snow is.

We met Jana and Mark who had been snowshoeing.  They were really nice and Jana is so beautiful and Mark is really handsome but not quite as handsome as me.

Today we went for a hike at my favorite place TIGER Mountain!  It was amazing SNOW!  So BEAUTIFUL!  I am a tiger I LOVE the snow!

Here I am wearing mom’s new hat from Ecuador that matches the backpack!

We met lots of people some were hiking, some were skiing, some were snowshoeing. Look how deep the snow was! mom was glad to have her gaiters and mini crampons.

Here I am with Galloway and Anni! Galloway is so handsome and Anni is totally gorgeous!   It was a super duper day!

Oh boy we went to another party and exchanged gifts.  Mom got this totally awesome Star Wars bobblehead!  What could be better?

Then at work Kirsten brought in these incredible treats she made! In the picture Kirsten is holding the tray of yummy treats and Christina is holding me. They are both super nice and really beautifullll!

Kirsten let me have one of the candies that was shaped like a tree!  After that I needed a little time out.  mom does not usually let me have candy.

Today we went to Snoqualmie Summit again!  There was tons of new snow!

We met our good friends Pat and Mike!  Mike is an expert skier. He was mostly somewhere else on the mountain doing expert skier stuff.  Pat and mom snowboarded together all afternoon. Pat is so beautiful and is really nice and she is a really good snowboarder.  Mike is very handsome and is really nice too; he was very patient while mom did klutzy things getting off the chair lift.

Here I am riding in the satchel!

Someone built a snowman!

When we were leaving for the day we noticed that someone had knocked the snowman’s head off ha ha that was funny!  It was not me I promise I did not cause any trouble all day. Even mom said I was better behaved than usual.

We had time during this busy holiday season to visit the eye doctor.  Here I am with Tarin who is helping me with the eye exam! Tarin was really nice and funny and super beautiful.

Then we went to see Silvia to order new glasses!  Silvia is so lovely and knows all about glasses and which ones look best on people.  She was super nice and remembered me from last time we got glasses!  She was really excited to get a new photo with me!

OMG it is time for holiday fun!  Here I am at work with Christina, Matt, and Ed and the most awesome strudel from Wisconsin. Tigers LOVE strudel !  Christina is totally gorgeous and Matt and Ed are very handsome but not quite as handsome as me.

This is me with Sharon who is super nice and super beautiful and she loves cats!

Here I am with Yveta who is bringing me and mom a present!  Yveta va va voom!!!

This is just some of the great holiday gifts we got.  That giant cookie is not a cookie it is homemade peanut brittle tigers LOVE peanut brittle!

Today we went to a big holiday party!

There were dogs at the party! Dogs and Tigers RULE! These are working dogs you do not pet them while they are working.

OMG today was the BEST day ever!!!!  We went snowboarding!!!!  The weather was perfect it was 30 degrees and snowing!   There was lots of nice soft snow for mom to fall down in!  We had SO MUCH FUN!

Here I am riding the chair lift!  This is the first time we took a photo on the lift!

This is me riding in the satchel.  Look how beautiful the trees look all covered in snow.

Mom tried to get an artsy looking photo of me riding in the satchel and the new board in the picture too.  We got lots of compliments on how beautiful the board is (tiger colors!).  Also the board works really good mom did not fall down quite as much as usual.
