Today we went to the Seattle Art Museum to see an exhibit of paintings by famous Impressionists that are normally at the National Gallery of Art.  It was crowded.  That is because the show ends tomorrow and mom procrastinated.

Here is a painting with a cat in it!  In case you are wondering it was OK to take photos as long as you did not use the flash.

This one is by Van Gogh. It was amazing to see these paintings up close in person. In Tiger. Each one told a story about how people lived at that time.

Mom says that these artists defied convention and their work changed how people viewed art and viewed the world. This painting by Renoir made her cry.

After the museum we went to eat at the Market Grill at Pike Place Market.  My friend Drew was back! Also I am here with Anita who is super beautiful!  Va va Voom!          And Drew is as handsome as ever.  It was a great day!

Mom does not check the mail very often but I have been checking every day for my plush tiger friend.  Mom said it might take weeks but today she arrived!!!!

OMG she is so beautiful!!!!  She is from India!

Look at her huge paws!  She is bigger than me.                                                          Mom says I am named Little Tiger for a reason.

Gosh she is so beautiful and so nice and came with all this great stuff like an adoption certificate and informational cards and photos. I am so HAPPY!

We went snowboarding today!!  This is me with Art he is in charge of traffic at Snoqualmie Summit. That is a very important job to make sure that everyone can get safely from the parking lot to the slopes.  Art is always smiling and is very handsome.

It was very foggy at Snoqualmie today!

I wanted to do the WildCat run!!!  Or Hog Wild!!    Ha ha ha!  but mom wanted to take the easy way down as usual. She is not very adventurous.

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.
