Christmas 2009
Dear Beloved Family and Friends,
Another year is almost over! It’s hard to believe that we have been back in Minnesota for almost 10 months. Hopefully this will reach each of you so you will have a current address for us! 2009 has been a GREAT year for our family, and we are so excited to share the best quotes from it… they just get better and better! Don’t forget to use your sense of humor!!
Ethan: “Is your sense of humor one of your five senses?”
Eli: (wiggling his tooth) - “Look, mom, my tooth can do the hula!”
Jonah: “That's it. I'm following Satan.... just kidding...”
Ethan: “Hey mom, we have bus evaporation today... we all have to get off the bus and pretend it's an emergency...”
Eli: “I'm not really into stand up potty's... I'm more into sit down potties...”
Jonah: “I really have to go, because I can feel the hotness of my pee!”
Ethan: “Mr. E told a joke about somebody in Charlotte’s Web being an IDIOT today…”
Becky: “Mr. E is pretty funny, huh?”
Ethan:” Mr. E is HISTORICAL!!”
Eli: (eating a sour candy) - “That's as sour as lightning!!!”
Jonah: “Does Satan want us to pee our pants?”
Eli: (to Sydney our cute 6 year-old neighbor) - “What do you want to do? Go downstairs and talk, or play checkews...?”
Jonah and Becky pull up to Target. Jonah: “Mommy, you can look at youw things and for a long time of that, then I can look at my things… does that sound like a plan?”
Grandy: (Sitting in church with the boys) -“You boys need to be reverent during church!”
Ethan: “uhh… we don’t usually do that…”
Eli: “I have all the paintchence stuff and Jo has all the whininess…whiney city…”
Becky: (came up to check on JK while she was supposed to be napping and found her playing on the floor with Jonah and Eli in a pile of blankets) -“HOW DID JANIE GET OUT OF HER CRIB???”
Eli : “Well she just wanted to so I climbed in and lifted her, and Jonah got her feet and we lifted her down! And she liked it!!”
Jonah: “Yeah, see she likes it!!”
Becky: Prays that this little girl will survive childhood!
Jonah when he is mad at mom: “I’m not even youw love, not even pwetty please with a chewwy on top!!”
Jonah when he is mad at dad: “I’m not even youw buddy anymowe!!”
Ethan: “Finders Keepers, Losers SWEEPERS!”
Janie Kate: Mama, Dada, Hiiiiii, and Lala (she loves her cousin Lola)
Even though we share with you these little anecdotes that make you smile (or cringe), our lives are in fact full of wonderful and inspiring experiences with each one of these sweet children. We share with you our love for the Savior Jesus Christ and the gift of His life. He is the reason for this season! Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Curtis, Becky, Ethan (7), Eli (6), Jonah (4), Janie Kate (1) LaClaire

Miss you guys
Again, we LOVED your Christmas letter! Your family picture is beautiful as well. Who did you have take the photo?
Becky! I am laughing so hard right now. I so needed this today! You know how Anne of Green Gables says it was a "Jonah" day?, well today was a "Sparta" day, and after reading this, I was laughing so hard I was crying. Your little boys are so awesome! Thank you for cheering me up!:)
Becky, I would love to get your friends name & number. I probably wouldn't use her until fall, but I could put her name & number in my file. Does she have a website?
The pictures of Zach 1-5 years were all scanned pictures. We didn't have digital back then either. So I went through his box to find his pictures. It was not quite as organized or as easy as it is now with digital!
