Barbag and Beyond: The Beginning of Winter Break and 9th Anniversary Celebrations!

~~Ninja Break~~ Winter Break is almost here!

Checking out the holiday decorations
at Tanya & Eric's house.

Beginning to decorate for Chanukah!

Break is always tiring.

Heading out to the Winter Carnival at NB before going to see play #2 of the family fun series, Dorothy Meets Alice or The Wizard of Wonderland! (It was cute!)

It wouldn't be an NB winter carnival
without some cold rain in the forecast!

Winning prizes before the carnival even began!

Josh gets to sleep over at Bubby and Zaide
for his birthday slumber party. He even
brought the class pet, Book, over there
for the weekend!
