New Year's Day and a Long Weekend

Thursday, January 1st

It was so nice to sleep in. I got up, went for a quick walk around the park, glad it was dry and then came back and ate some yogurt, grapes and half a bagel. I figured it would be a great day to go get a couple geocaches later for our new year souvenirs. I looked at the app and saw there were a couple caches we could grab that were nearby.

I started some laundry, vacuumed and did a couple other things around the house. I really didn't want to waste a dry day. Ben finally got up and ate some breakfast. I asked him if he wanted to grab a couple caches nearby and he said sure, why not.

We hopped in the Escape, and we drove out to Wanschers Park off of Ruddell Road by Hicks Lake. We've been here over the years several times for geocaches. The first one we looked for was Welcome to Wanschers Park (GCBGY2Y). We parked in the small parking area and walked down the trail towards the trees.

The cache wasn't very well hidden, and we saw where it was right away. Ben picked it up from its hiding spot and we opened the lid and peered down to see what was inside of it. We saw nothing that exciting but pulled out the logbook and signed our names. We got a picture and put it back where we found it.

We walked back to the Escape and headed up Ruddell Road to the next one. 

Parkside Drive (GCBECHZ) was the neighborhood over by the Lacey Post Office. I've been here several times over the years to grab caches as well. We got as close as we could, parked the Escape, got out and walked to the proximity of where the cache was. The coords kept moving, however, the most obvious place is where we found the hide-a-key. We got our names on it and put it back where we found it. This cache might not make it long term.

Ben walked over to the other side of the park to go see how much the duplex was going for. He has considered purchasing one as an investment. This property was asking way too much. We headed home and I turned on some college football. The Oregon beat Texas Tech, Indiana beat Alabama and Ole Miss beat Georgia. I worked on my blog for a while and then the D&D Summary from our last session on NYE.

Ben and I had leftover spaghetti for dinner. We went to bed late.

Friday, January 2nd

I got up about the same time I usually do. I called Dad to see if we could borrow the truck so we could take the limbs and bags of leaves to Silver Springs. We had raked up all the leaves and picked up the limbs in the backyard the day after Christmas because we had time and it wasn't raining. We took advantage of it. Dad said we could.

We got in a quick breakfast and changed our clothes. We headed out to Rainier and grabbed the truck. We drove it into Lacey and put the first load in the truck. We found out quickly; we were going to have to make two trips. We threw the bags of leaves in first and made sure they were strapped down. They were heavy enough, but you just never know. 

We got to Silver Springs and no one was around, so we just drove up to where we knew we had to go, backed up the truck and started dumping out the 15 bags of leaves. 

Did I mention I absolutely hate the maple tree in the backyard? We threw the bags away in the bin they provided. We left and headed back into Lacey. We loaded up the limbs and other pieces of organic debris and headed back into Rainier. Once we were done dumping that load, we filled up the truck with gas and drove back to Mom and Dad's house. 

The Expedition had died and they had no idea why it wasn't staying charged. I followed Dad into Yelm so he could drop it off with Napa. I took him home. Ben and I went home after that, and it felt great to get all of that stuff out of the yard. We ate leftover wings for dinner and watched the second Avatar movie because we were going to go watch the third one with Nicole, Del, Isaac and Celeste the next evening. I worked on getting my Instagram feed caught up because I was about a year behind. 

We went to bed late.

Saturday, January 3rd

I got up around 9:30 and got ready to go take a walk around the park since it was dry. I always try to take advantage of the weather when I walk. I noticed that they had a tree recycling program and decided when I got home, I was going to take the tree down and take it to the park. I had a quick breakfast and brought the totes in from the garage.

I got Ben up so he could help me.

It took a while to gather up everything and get it secure into the Christmas totes. We found out quickly that we did not have enough totes for all of our Christmas ornaments. Once the tree was naked. Ben and I took it outside and threw it on top of the Escape. Since we were driving a short distance to the park, we just drove slowly and held it with our hands. We managed to get it to the parking lot without it falling off the Escape. One of the worker's grabbed it from us and yelled Go Cougs! We went home and continued organizing our Christmas decorations.

I made a quick trip over to Fred Meyer to grab a container for our year ornaments since our collection was growing. I found the perfect container and headed home.

I got all the Christmas decorations packed up including our new container. Ben helped me put them in the garage until we could take them to the storage unit in Rainier. We had a late lunch and then got ready to go meet up with Nicole, Del, Isaac and Celeste in Olympia for the movie. We chose not to partake in the food and drinks beforehand. We got to watch part of the first quarter of the Seahawk and 49er game that started at 5. It was a big game with a lot of implications for the post season.

Ben and I headed to the mall, found a place to park and went inside. They had just finished their food and drinks at the Stack 571 Burger and Whiskey Bar. They paid, grabbed their stuff and we made the short walk over to the theater. Ben and I got some popcorn and pop, and we went into our auditorium and got settled into our assigned seats. The entire time I was nervous on how the game was going.

As the movie played on, I snuck a peek at my phone a few times but questioned what I saw. The score did not change a lot. I thought my phone wasn't updating correctly the entire time. When the movie finished, I immediately got onto the ESPN app to check. WE WON! And my phone was updating the entire time. The score really didn't change much during the game. We beat them 13-3 and secured the number one seed for the playoffs plus we nabbed the NFC West Division title since 2020. 

We all used the restrooms and loitered around the lobby for a couple minutes talking about the movie and the football game. We then headed out to the parking lot to go home. Ben and I got home around 10:15 and I immediately turned on Sportscenter to see what happened. The game was wild. I hope we finish off the season on a high note and destroy everyone in the playoffs. We controlled our own destiny and have the upper hand. 

I worked on my blog for a little while and added more to my D&D summary.

We went to bed late.

Sunday, January 4th

I got up around 9:30 and did a few things, turned on football and ate some breakfast. It was hard to get Ben up so we could go over to the rental and continue with the projects we were currently working on.

Ben ate, we both got ready and headed into Rainier right around noon. We spent some time finishing up the dining room floor with adhesive and the vinyl tiles. That took up most of the afternoon, while we listened to the football games, but we got some heavy things on it so it can set. All we need to do now is get a transition piece from the dining room to the kitchen and peel up the paint tape. 

I grabbed a small paint brush and some of the blue trim paint and put a second coat around the living room window frame. Dad spent some time working on getting the bathroom fan going again. He had to come up with a way to hang it with the new ceiling tiles.

Ben did a couple of small things after working on the floor. 

We cleaned up and put our stuff away. We talked about what we were going to work on the next week which was the landing floor. It is slowly coming together, and I can't wait until it's over and we can have our weekends back. 

After the conclusion of the regular season, I am officially the fantasy football champion in Heather's family league. I still have to wait next week for our league. I have a pretty good shot at taking that one too, but anything can happen.

We drove home, made some dinner, got cleaned up, relaxed and watched the Sunday night football game. It was a nice long 4-day weekend.

NYE 2025 - D&D: A Christmas Special

Nicole has been planning this special Christmas edition of D&D for quite some time and it fit in perfectly on New Year's Eve. We all planned ahead for this special edition with the decision to use our Buffalo Wild Wings points that some of us have been holding on to for a while. We figured that most of us had to work on NYE, so making an entire meal for 7 people would prove to be more than what any of us were willing to take on. So, we let Buffalo Wild Wings make dinner for us.

We took a poll of what types of flavors of wings people liked and ordered a bunch of each type in advance. All we had to do is pick them up on our way to Nicole and Del's house. Nicole made winter themed potions and French fries in the air fryer and Erika brough carrots and celery. We all got there roughly around 5:30, got settled in and dove into the food. It was delicious!

We were in awe of the set-up for this special Christmas edition of D&D. Nicole sure went all out. There was a giant gingerbread dragon, tiny gingerbread me, winterized trees and a village. She even ordered Christmas themed dice to use for that night only. Del made us all name plaques with a picture of our character. They were so cool!

Once we were done eating and cleaned up a bit, Nicole went over some of the housekeeping items and then jumped into the game.

Everything was white, quiet and we couldn't see anything. We didn't have our weapons on us, none of our animals, we were confused but we felt well rested. Where were we?

We hear a lady and then a loud pop sound. We see her - she's covered in flour and other baking ingredients, she's got frizzled hair, a tad on the plump side and looked middle-aged. She asks, are you the adventurer's I asked for help? Again, we were super confused. She went into her story.

She loves to bake and has to make a lot of cookies for everyone in Winterland, especially during this time of year. A magical oven, that she has inherited from her grandmother, needed maintenance and should couldn't remember how to fix it. She thought she would cast a spell to make the gingerbread men help her with the impossible task of keeping up with the baking but somehow the spell went wrong, they went rogue and started making naughty gingerbread men and a giant gingerbread dragon. They soon took over the town and started to terrorize the villagers and their homes. So, Queen Tinselwind the White, asked for help and we showed up.

She did go into the details of their world. Their world is in a different plane than ours is. That's why you do not have your weapons, animals and she added, if you are magical - your magic might not work the same in this plane, but you could sure try. We asked her if she had any weapons or spells for us to use and she said she could find some for us to use. She gave us a couple dozen Christmas themed weapons and spells for us to look through and share if we'd like. She gave us some special health potion eggnog for when we needed to use it.

She told us about her magical oven, the orb powering it and that it needed to be repaired for the gingerbread men were going to take over Winterland. She asks, will you help me? We kinda didn't have a choice and told her yeah. Erika tries to summon Carl, but Carl turns into a gingerbread cookie cat. She snapped her fingers and we went from what we thought purgatory was into Winterland.

We all appear in a small house and we see the oven. Every six seconds a gingerbread man pops out, giggles and runs out the door to cause havoc. We see a giant gingerbread dragon, named Crumble Claws, out in the village terrorizing people and smashing their cottages. You could hear villagers, which looked like gnomes or elves, screaming and attempting to run away.

We roll for initiative.

We ask if there are any instructions on how to fix the oven. She remembers her grandmother having a box and goes and gets it. It has to be unlocked. There's a lock on it with four symbols - a snowflake, a sun, a flower and another flower but it's wilted. We all gravitate towards the seasons, and we must have to put them in some sort of order. On Erika's first turn, she attempts an order and isn't correct but on the right track.

Isaac leaves the house and tangles with a gingerbread man; he ends up killing it with some rolls that go in his favor.

Crumble Claws goes. He turns towards Isaac, sprays molasses at him and does some damage.

Del tried his hand at the puzzle and tries all snowflakes, but the box doesn't open. We ask Queen Tinselwind for some help or hints and ask her the correct questions. Val attempts the puzzle and we find out the first season in that realm is and she tells us spring. Val assembles the puzzle to a flower, sun, wilted flower and snowflake. The box opens and we get stars, needle, thread and some parchment paper. We had to figure out a constellation to move onto the next part of the puzzle.

Ben gives Val the gift of an advantage for death saving throws and continues to try to eat the gingerbread men.

All the gingerbread men get a turn. They move and throw frosting at the villagers.

Celeste works on the puzzle with Queen Tinselwind. She asks the appropriate questions and together they both figure it out. They are left with another puzzle, this time, it's a parchment paper bundle.

Erika goes and decides to work on the next segment of the puzzle. She unwraps the bundle and finds six different pieces of wood with a riddle of the order in which they must be burned in. Queen Tinselwind remembers her grandmother doing these tasks to maintain the stove, but it's been so long. Erika was only able to figure out what two of the pieces of wood were. 

Isaac moves and attacks another one of the gingerbread men, he succeeds, and throws 2% milk at him and makes him soggy.

Crumble Claws moves, destroys a cottage and throws a villager across the courtyard into a pile of snow. We hear more screaming.

Del works on the puzzle and figures out another type of wood.

Val is able to succeed on her turn and kills two of the gingerbread men, however, more keep coming out of the oven. We must get this oven fixed!

Ben attacks one of the gingerbread men and makes him soggy.

The gingerbread men take their turn, move but the closest one to Val attacks her, succeeds and pushes her to the ground. She is now prone.

Celeste works on the puzzle and figures out each type of wood. It is passed onto Erika for her to finish that piece on her turn. She figures out the order in which the wood goes from the riddle. They are thrown into the oven in the correct order, the orb glows and pulsates in the back of the oven.

Isaac moves and hides behind a tree.

Crumble Claws smashes another house, throws another villager into a pile of snow and then uses his movement to move towards Val.

Del moves and succeeds in harming one of the gingerbread men. Val changes her weapons, kills two more gingerbread men and uses the third strike on Crumble Claws, it's not much, but it starts the harm.

Ben casts haste on Val, however since it's a spell form our world, it doesn't work the same way in Winterland. Val glitches a little bit, her armor class decreases by two, giving her an AC of 14 instead of 16. it makes Val sad but gives Val another attack while using her sword and more movement on her turn.

Gingerbread men attack Del and each other. More emerge from the oven and succeed shoving Ben onto the ground. They giggle as they run past him and out the door.

Celeste works on the next part of the puzzle for the oven and has to untangle a bunch of cords, so they are organized. She got as far as she could before handing it off to Erika for her turn. Erika was able to get a little further but wasn't able to finish the entire thing. We hear Crumble Claws roar in pain.

Isaac rolls a nat 1 and accidentally shoots a villager with an arrow, then hides in shame behind a tree.

Crumble Claws goes and decides to claw and bite Val. He succeeds with both and Val loses a lot of health points. But she is still alive.

Del attempts a cantrip, but again, our magic doesn't work the same in Winterland, a purple noxious gas comes out and doesn't do anything to the gingerbread man standing in front of him. As a bonus action, he heals Val for a few health points.

Val rolls well on her turn and hits Crumble Claws for 60 damage points. He didn't appreciate it.

Ben finished untangling the puzzle and goes to check to see if anything else needs to be done to the oven. He notices a coil that was way overheated and needed to be cooled down. He asks Queen Tinselwind for some ice water. She gets that for him to dump over the coil. It cools it down; the oven settles and Crumble Claws roars in pain. The oven seems to be in working order now and no more gingerbread men come out of the oven.

The gingerbread men move towards Crumble Claws and the rest of us. One of them attempts to shove Del on the ground but doesn't succeed.

Celeste rolls and succeeds at throwing 2% milk at Crumble Claws, who is near the house, part of his limbs become soggy. He is starting to feel the pain we are inflicting on him.

Erika attacks the gingerbread men with a sugar plum tiara, she succeeds and the gingerbread men are charmed.

Isaac moves and hides behind a different tree.

Crumble Claws hits Val with his claws and bite, damages Val for the rest of her hit points, she is in the negative now, is unconscious/dead. Crumble Claws sings a terrible Christmas carol to Del, he rolls a nat 1 and is disadvantaged now. Crumble Claws manifests two more gingerbread men out of the snow to cause chaos to the village, however, the milk damage he has suffered may be starting to affect him.

Del casts nathair's mischief to everyone in a 20 foot cube, he is successful and everyone in the cube is now laughing uncontrollably. This includes Queen Tinselwind, who starts throwing ice balls while laughing so Celeste gets hit with some and loses a couple hit points.

Val rolls a death saving throw and fails.

Ben uses a snow globe to create a localized blizzard, he kills three gingerbread men, and the rest take half damage. The gingerbread men go, they move, Ben gets the opportunity to attack, fails and misses. The rest of them try to hit Ben, they succeed and Ben endures a little bit of damage.

Celeste, from the doorway, uses frosty flicker on Crumble Claws, she succeeds and everyone rolls with an advantage on their turn.

Erika casts false life on herself, but again, our magic works differently in this realm - it makes her nauseous and throws up.

Isaac is successful on his attack on Crumble Claws and hits him for 29 damage. He finishes his turn off with some cocoa for haste.

Crumble Claws spews molasses at Isaac and Ben. He hits Ben for some damage but misses Isaac. Crumble Claws takes a legendary action and bulldozes through everyone in his current path, including a tree. Val was able to move out of the way but Del gets hit with his claws and hits him hard.

Del heals Val, Val is now conscious/alive, and Del uses his eggnog to heal himself.

Val uses her eggnog to heal herself more and blasts Crumble Claws for 59 damage points.

Ben decides to test fate and casts fireball to see what it would do in this realm - streams of confetti spill all over everyone. We all gain 10 health points but so do the gingerbread men and Crumble Claws. Ben uses misty step to get away from danger.

Some of the gingerbread men and Crumble Claws move into Del's cube of uncontrollable laughter. One of the gingerbread men hits Isaac but misses Ben.

Celeste uses her reindeer bow from the doorway on Crumble Claws and inflicts some damage. Celeste heals Val for some more health points while Erika splashes Crumble Claws with some 2% milk and gets soggy. Some of Crumble Claw's cookie facade start to crumble.

Isaac moves and takes an attack of opportunity from a gingerbread man and takes some damage. On the flipsides, Isaac attacks the gingerbread man and he dies. Isaac hides behind a tree.

On Crumble Claw's turn - he bulldozes through everyone in his path again. Val was able to avoid him but Del sustained a little bit of damage.

Del moves his cube and it hurts some of the gingerbread men but doesn't quite kill them. He uses his card spray but in this realm, they are holiday cards instead. Crumble Claws gets hit but it's only for half damage. He is getting worn down.

Val gets set up with her three attacks. All three hit and with all the advantages he has acquired, she pummels Crumble Claws with 56 damage points. Crumble Claws takes a legendary action and spray molasses, but the critical hit kills him. He crumbles into a pile of cookie pieces. We cheer and turn our attention to the gingerbread men who are left running amuck in the village.

Ben hits two of the gingerbread men with magic missiles, but they do not die, they then, attempt to shove Del on the ground and fail. Ben throws a present and Del. The other gingerbread men succeed in throwing frosting at Erika and Celeste, who are still in the house with Queen Tinselwind. It leaves them sticky and it's hard to move around.

Celeste uses her ice knife from the doorway, it hits two of the gingerbread men and unfortunately, Del, because he was in teh vicinity.

Erika uses her sugar plum tiara on two of the gingerbread men from the doorway, she succeeds and they are charmed.

Isaac uses his pair of Christmas stockings to cover more ground than he usually can and hides behind a tree.

Del uses his slay bells and fails on this roll. He is disappointed.

Val annihilates the three gingerbread men closest to her. They did not see it coming. Ben casts magic missiles but this time they change shape. They turn into neatly wrapped boxes with bows. They hit the gingerbread men they were aimed at but did very little damage. In fact, they point and laugh at Ben. One of the gingerbread men go after Ben, kick him in the ankle and pushes him down on the ground.

Celeste finally is able to leave the house and casts moonbeam, even though she was apprehensive about casting one of her normal spells, she was glad she did though. On the last remaining gingerbread men, the moonbeam doesn't work as well, but a fully decorated Christmas tree comes down and crushes the gingerbread men. Crumble Claws and his gingerbread men minions have been defeated. Game over.

Queen Tinselwind comes out of the house and thanks us for helping her. We ask her if she could help us in the remaining challenge, we were a part of in our realm...we were hoping for a long rest, but she couldn't do that for us. She thinks about it for a little bit and all she can offer us is 10 health points. I guess it's better than nothing. She thanks us for a second time and she snaps her fingers.

Everything goes white again.

Nicole thanked us for participating in her Christmas themed D&D session. She told us that she has been working on it for a while. We thank her for putting a lot of effort into it. We all go downstairs and bring in 2026.

This upcoming year will be busy.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

Wednesday, December 24th

The past few Christmas Eve's and Christmases have been a lot of work to plan them. There have been 9-10 of us for Christmas Eve and anywhere between 13-16 people for Christmas. That is a lot of people to feed, corral and plan for. I can see why my grandparent's stopped hosting. It got to be too much for them as they aged. We took over around 2013 sharing where we held it between my Mom and Dad's house, Kevin and Karla's house and sometimes Grandma's house. It just depended on the weather, the holiday and who was around.

I talked to a few people to get some feedback on what we were going to do this holiday season. I got tired of hosting both Christmas Eve and Christmas every year I finally gave it to Erika and Zac. They were okay with hosting Christmas Eve. She told me to let people know to come over around 5 because some people work on that day. Luckily, Doug's schedule worked. We agreed we would have tacos again and after that some gift exchanges. 

I made sure we had everything purchased, made and wrapped before driving over to Erika and Zac's house. I even remembered to bring the tables and chairs. Ben and I got over there a little bit before 5 and started bringing in everything and setting up the tables and chairs. Erika was in the kitchen cooking taco meat. I assigned everyone something to bring and made sure we had gluten free taco shells for Ben. 

Everyone arrived and we got everything organized on her buffet table and told everyone to dig in. We all sat in the living room and ate tacos. Zac had some sort of weird cartoons playing on the TV in the background. We talked about our day and had fun hanging out with Brian. This was Brian's second Christmas, and he was busier than he was the previous year. He is one funny little kid.

Once we finished eating, we helped Erika clean up everything and wash dishes. We, surprisingly, didn't have a ton of leftovers. We moved the tables and chairs out of the living room and started handing out presents. Brian, of course, went first. He was excited and overwhelmed at the same time. We watched him open a few toys, some clothes and a really cool dinosaur coloring book with large crayons. We even colored for a few minutes.

Doug and Sonya made goodies for everyone - Ben especially loved the gluten free Chex mix she made, Mom and Dad got a couple things for everyone, as well as Erika and Zac. Ben and I made sure everyone got at least one present to open that night. Grandma managed to save up a few bucks to have presents for everyone as well, even though we told her not to. We ended the night throwing balled up Christmas paper at the dogs, each other and buried Brian in a pile of it. He giggled and laughed.

We cleaned up the paper, gathered up belongings, helped take the tables and chairs out to the Escape and thanked Erika and Zac for hosting. We told everyone we would see them bright at early the next day at 9 a.m. for breakfast. Ben and I went home and finished getting the house ready for Christmas.

Thursday, December 25th

I set my alarm for 8 and slowly got out of bed. I was tired and did not want to get up. Mom forgot to give me the casseroles the night before, so we had to wait until she got there to put them in the oven. I had gone to Costco earlier that week and got some muffins (super disappointed they changed them) and stopped by Walmart for the milk, chocolate milk, orange juice and whatever I needed for Christmas Eve the night before. I had gone a week ago after work for the Christmas dinner stuff. Amy and Trish brought the fruit. We still had possession of Doug's coffee maker since the geocaching event I held about a week ago. I made sure he got that back after the holidays.

Mom and Grandma got there a little bit before everyone so we could put the casseroles into the oven. Everything else was ready to go on the table. Everyone else got there around 9 and started to settle in. The casseroles finally got done and told everyone it was time to eat.

Everyone gathered a pile of food and found a spot at the table. The living room during that time of the year is snuggy due to the Christmas tree. We ate and talked about what everyone was up to. Brian was put into the highchair, and Erika gave him a little bit of each of what we were eating.

We cleaned up when we were done and moved over to the couch. Trish and Ben handed out the presents. We spent the next hour or so opening presents, laughing, throwing wadded up wrapping paper at each other and piling paper on top of Brian. He had a great time. Wade even felt comfortable enough to come into the living room to see what we were doing. Everyone brought presents for Erika's birthday as well. We had a mini birthday party for her.

Everyone helped clean up. We stuff all the wrapping paper into a huge trash bag, folded up the giftbags and broke down the boxes. Everyone took their goodies to their vehicles just to get it out of the house, so it didn't get misplaced or left behind in the chaos. We got in some family pictures next to the Christmas tree and a group one on the couch.

Erika, Zac and Brian went home so they could get Brian a nap before coming over for dinner. Doug and Sonya left to go hang out with her mom for dinner, so we weren't going to see them again that day. Mom and Dad left with Grandma to go chill at home for a while before coming back over for dinner. Trish, Amy and Ed stayed since going home was too far of a drive to turn around and come back for dinner. 

Trish helped with the dishes, and I ran a load of laundry. Some board games were played, and I just wanted to chill for a while before I had to start making dinner around 2:30. I did get the ham going just before we opened presents so it would get done on time. We had the football games on the TV for those who were interested enough to watch them. 

I got up and started making dinner. Trish helped me. Ben peeled the potatoes and we got everything going. We were hoping it would be done around 4. We were having the traditional Christmas meal we usually have - ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, rolls, salad, deviled eggs and Mom's famous Christmas cookies. 

Everyone showed back up around 4ish, and I let them know everything was ready to eat. It looked so nice on the table with Grammie's Christmas goose tablecloth. 

Everyone grabbed their plate and piled on the food they wanted. The ham was delicious! One of the football games played on the TV in the background on mute while we talked about random things. We cleaned up and a little while later everyone had some dessert and just chilled.

It was getting late so everyone grabbed their stuff and headed home. I told Trish to let us know when they got home since they had the furthest to go. We thanked everyone for coming and they thanked us for a nice time. Ben and I spent the rest of the night putting the food, table and chairs away, vacuumed and then finally relaxed a little bit. We watched a couple Christmas movies on the couch with the kitties and then went to bed late.

Merry Christmas, everyone!
