David's Address
Melanie wrote: I somehow misplaced David's address. I have been looking all over for it. I can't find it. Would you re-send it to me, so that I can mail his card?
Sorry.

Happy Early Birthday!
Mary and Julie thought I needed a birthday cake so they fixed one on Sunday, a few days early. I guess I always have Danish everything on my birthday. Well, here we are with a homemade cake.
What You Need to Know
Myrna wrote: I sent individual cards with money inside to each of the children and to each of you adults. I also sent individual cards to the kids with $1 inside for a treat. I sent a package with a couple of books, a DVD and some Christmas ornaments to each family. (I haven't mailed Shawn's yet because I did not know if they were coming for any of the Christmas celebrations or not.) There was supposed to be an adult book included but I ordered them from Kimo a month ago and they still have not come. Scratch that idea. Next year I will just order from Amazon and have them shipped to each of you. Sorry about that. I love you all. Mom

Melanie wrote: No worries. The children love seeing things from you. They keep the cards, envelopes and goodies. The dollar bills aren't even spent as quickly as you would think. They like holding on to a piece of their Grandparents. Interesting, huh?

What We Want for Christmas--Photos
Myrna wrote: Dad would like you to get someone, like a friend (or put the camera on a tripod) and have a family group photo taken. Then e-mail it to us. I will have Kimo print it up. That is to be our (Dad's and mine) Christmas present from each of you. We want nothing more. (NO CHEATING!) He thinks we don't get enough family group photos to show off.
Melanie wrote: We will use the ones we did at graduation, because Siovhan isn't around us anymore. Howard is in England at Andrew's wedding, so I will wait for him to get back before I send the photo. He has photoshop and is kind of picky about the pictures.

Myrna wrote: That is great. Thanks. I didn't know Andrew was getting married again. I have not been to the family site for a bit. I have been too busy. Love, m
Melanie wrote: Andrew didn't allow us to tell anyone until this week. No one knew, except our children and they didn't find out until two weeks ago.
Busy, yes, I know how that goes.

Kimberly wrote: What size do you want? We gave you a 4x6. I will look around for the disk and email you the picture.
Myrna wrote: I just looked at the photo. It is fine. No more worries on your part. Love, M
Arbree wrote: We will do that. Although it might take us awhile to get it to you. We have misplaced the computer download cord somewhere in the move and have to find a new one. But that should not be too hard. Then I will be sending you pictures left and right.
LOVE YOU ALL!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS

Christmas Gifts
From Myrna: Dad would like you to get someone, like a friend (or put the camera on a tripod) and have a family group photo taken. Then e-mail it to us. I will have Kimo print it up.

From Amy G.: Um…. Too late. Myrna, your Christmas gift was shipped yesterday from amazon.com so be on the lookout. Hopefully it will get there before Christmas. About the family pictures, I sent a really nice 5x7 of our family last Christmas (with our Christmas card we sent you), also with a bunch of other smaller pictures of the kids. So you should have an updated (within a year) family picture of us already. I would much prefer that you display the professional one than just a snapshot of us. If you can’t find the 5x7 I sent you, let me know, I’m pretty sure I have another one. Merry Christmas, we will miss being at your house on Christmas Eve for your birthday. It’s boring out here with no family. Love you and thanks for everything! Let me know if you need another family picture of us.

Happy Anniversary, Kirsten and Jared.
I found the perfect card for you two. But I did not find the perfect photo. How about posting one? Have a great day!

I have no idea where the time has gone, it seems to me as if it happened just yesterday and not 50 years ago. You have been a faithful member of the church all those years. That is a great gift to me. Thank you.

From Gertrud in Danish (Happy Memory)
Kære Br. Trauntvein.
Tak for din mail angående minn dåbsdag. At der er gået 50 år er ikke til at forstå. Men når jeg ser mig i et spejl (mirror) kan jeg se årene er gået, og jeg løber heller ikke så hurtigt - so fast. Men tak fordi du og din kammerat - companion - kom forbi Mogens Alle dengang i sommeren 1958. Jeg er meget taknemmelig for Evangeliet og alle velsignelser og erfaringer jeg har modtaget gennem årene. Jeg er også taknemmelig for Templet i København, det er en gave fra Herren. Nu skal vi ikke den lange vej til Stockholm (8-9 timer). It just great. Tak fordi du huskede det og glædede mig med en mail.
With best regards
Str. Gertrud Jensen

I was just thinking about you and remembering that it was 50 years ago that you were baptized. You were baptized, according to my records, on Dec. 16, 1958. What a wonderful day that was for me. I have no idea where the time has gone, it seems to me as if it happened just yesterday and not 50 years ago.
