Amidst all the holiday bustle I forgot to introduce our newest staff member, who joined us a few weeks after Thanksgiving.  Say hello to Ugly Yeti!  As you know, it's very rare to spot a real live Yeti, but we managed to snag one!  (And he is indeed rare - he's one of only 50!)  He loves forests and snow and all things winter, so he especially liked hanging out with Babo Bear beneath our white Christmas tree.

He might look ferocious but he's actually quite cuddly.  :)

I think I'm going to put him in charge of museum membership...we'll see how that goes.
