In this family, every birthday, anniversary, and Christmas fall in November and December. Which makes for a very festive, party-ful two months. But, halfway through the year we start to miss the balloons, cake, presents and family get-togethers. So, last year we decided that at the end of June, every year, we would make our own holiday: Braam Day. Complete with balloons, presents for Eva, and Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake.

Twas a fantastic day.
