Bim turns 35

Last year's Doctor Who theme was such a hit with Bim that I almost wanted to repeat it...but we had to try for something new. Bim's Long Beach Tour of Breakfast was fun for all of us, especially Liv, who keeps talking about how she and Dad ordered the same thing (!), banana pancakes, at our first stop. I bought gift certificates to the local breakfast spots we hadn't tried yet, and we went to a different one every week--four in all. 

Another highlight of Liv's year was the bundt (or, "donut") cake we made. Two months later we are still hearing about it nearly every day. I'm not exaggerating.
