Plot Edit

The kids are sharing stories about their family traditions/celebrations. Ashley and Alissa tell everyone about the "Sister Celebration" that their family has each year. Robert can't think of a tradition that his family shares. Barney explains that a family tradition is something that a family does together. Stella tells a story about a special quilt, and the children make family flags with the use of the Barney Bag. They discover how special times and shared experiences become traditions.

• On the Spanish version, "The More We Get Together" isn't sung. 
• It is revealed that Kristen got a bracelet from Mexico.
• This is the nineteenth episode to only feature one boy (Robert).
• Stella's Mexican dress would later appear in the 20th anniversary special The Best of Barney.
