Stego pics!

[Assembly](http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k302/labtrash/xmasstegoinside.jpg). I noted the “[thagomize](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thagomizer)r” was wrong, and tried my best to correct it!

[Blurry](http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k302/labtrash/xmasstego.jpg)in the yard.

[With the lab](http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k302/labtrash/xmasstegonpup-1.jpg). The giraffe didn’t do well on storage, and I think the flamingo has gone MIA.

Pepper Mill tells me that the Christmas Stegosaurus is now on sale at K-Mart at 45-50% off.
