http://www.thehenrichsens.com Just another WordPress weblog Fri, 02 Jan 2009 04:06:00 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en With a new year upon us I've decided it's time for a new blog too. I've tried for months to get help changing my blog template but my hands have been tied because I don't know HTML and I don't host my own website. So a few weeks ago I ... http://www.thehenrichsens.com/?p=2752 As per Henrichsen tradition, tonight we broke in the New Year by smashing thisto smithereens!Noah's ice skater that he made at school during his Second Grade Gingerbread House-Making Fest ended up looking like she skated herself into a pie toss.And Mark and Hunter fondly named these pink mints "urinal mints."And ... http://www.thehenrichsens.com/?p=2751 I think the church does a great job telling the youth NOT to have sex until they are married. I think the church does an even better job telling already baby-hungry girls how wonderful motherhood is. So while the young women know they aren't supposed to have sex ... http://www.thehenrichsens.com/?p=2750 We went to the aquarium today. I don't think any of us set foot outside last week except to go caroling on Christmas Eve. We just vegged out in front of the Wii and ate all sorts of junk food and got really fat and lazy. ... http://www.thehenrichsens.com/?p=2749 Several weeks ago someone asked Mark if the boys would sing for the Christmas Program in Sacrament meeting. They've been practicing for quite sometime now and yesterday they did a fabulous job. For those of you that didn't get the pleasure of hearing them perform at church you can see ... http://www.thehenrichsens.com/?p=2748 I love it when we spend $600 on a Wii System for Christmas and the very first day the kids get to play it they say, "This is the worst game system ever!"And I also love it when the kids are playing our brand new very expensive Wii and they ... http://www.thehenrichsens.com/?p=2747 As per tradition, I give you the matching jammies picture. Merry Christmas! http://www.thehenrichsens.com/?p=2746 Every Christmas we make gingerbread houses. It's a tradition for Mark's family so we've tried to make it one in our family. The Original Henrichsens are really good at it. I guess they've had lots of practice. Us knockoffs aren't so good at it but we do it anyway cause ... http://www.thehenrichsens.com/?p=2745 We took the boys sledding this weekend because we sort of had an abundance of snow and not much else to do. I think I've told you that already. Anyway, Caleb was in snow-eating heaven once again and everytime the sled stopped or it wasn't his turn to ... http://www.thehenrichsens.com/?p=2744 Friday we got about six inches of a very white powdery snow. It was beautiful. It completely transformed our cold and gray neighborhood into the most festive Winter Wonderland. Anyway, out here in CT if you don't shovel PDQ (pretty darn quick) you can get a ticket for like $200. ... http://www.thehenrichsens.com/?p=2743
