Our Early Christmas went off without a hitch Saturday morning with a flurry of food, wrapping paper, dogs and cats.
Then we geared up for a late afternoon beach fire to celebrate The Writer's Dec 20th birthday early.
We've been wanting to do this ever since we moved here and the weather couldn't be better.
I will let the pictures tell most of the story.
Loaded and ready to go in Mr. T's "new to him" pickup truck via insurance payout
for totaled SUV from accident last month.
Firepits lined up along Huntington Beach State Park
Our lighter didn't work! Sammy makes the jog to another pit to borrow theirs.
Success!
And a freeloader...
Birthday boy brings some more wood.
New California resident, Rachel from Orlando, joins us with...
...her husband, Chris, The Writer's high school buddy
and now back-door neighbor for awhile!
Two nice couples
Mr. T giving advice?
You can see the firepits lined up way in the distance.
Hot Dogs and S'mores on the menu
Mr. Tennis really likes his new hot dog cookers!
Maven alert!
The Maven joins the hot dog cooking
A good time was had by all.
Huntington Beach Firepits,
we will be back!

Looks like such fun! The theater I used to work for in San Diego had an annual fire pit party and somehow I never made it there...but I certainly participated in beach parties and fireworks at the beach. Such nice memories!

A picture is worth ........, I was wondering about the fire pits ect now I know, it looks like you had a good time.
Such fun love the beach anytime of the year.
What fun. What a great idea with the fire pits on the beach. I wonder if any Florida beaches have them. If so I've never heard of them. Glad you had such great weather and such a good time. Happy Birthday to the Writer and Merry Christmas to all.

Oh wow, what a great looking event! And I loved Huntington Beach when my daughter and I were there one summer. Thanks for taking us along. :) Kit
These are wonderful pictures, Ann, and that celebration suits your fun family to a T (no pun intended, Alan). Glenn would like a truck for his next vehicle; hope we don't need that any time soon!
Have a very merry Christmas!!
