Thank you Lauren, you are awesome!

Lauren, I wanted to thank you again for such a great DVD that you made for my Dad. He absolutely loved it! We watched it a couple of times and he would pause on pictures and talk about what it was he was doing at that time. My Grandpa really liked the DVD, he said it really brought back a lot of good memories. With my Grandma not doing so well lately, it made it nice for my Grandpa to reminisce. He said to my Grandma " who is that beautiful young lady standing beside me" It was just great. We all had a wonderful Christmas Eve!

Love Shelley

Message from Mom

I had a wonderful time, I was bound and determined to go if Kim was up to it, I just feel so bad we were such a pain! Never again will we take the train to your house for Christmas!! The roads were not that bad at all, and I was so stressed that Mark and Will would be stuck on top of the pass if they closed it down, which they did on Snoqualmie for a while yesterday. Thank you Mark and Will so much for driving to pick us up twice and for taking us to the summit to get home. You both go over and above what you have to do and I appreciate it more than you can know!! Thank you!!
Kim, thank you for having all of us, that is a lot of work to put us all up and we all loved it, it made my Christmas complete, that's for sure!! We love you all so much!!
Merry Christmas!
Love you, Mom

Thank you Kramer's for making us feel very welcome in your home. We had a great time, I am glad we all get to spend "our" Christmas together. You can't predict Mother Nature, but I feel I am speaking for all the train peeps.. We will never take the train again!!!!!!
Thank you Mark and Will for taking us here and there! I am sorry Will that you had to miss your xmas work party, and Mark for getting out of house work because you had to drive us up to Stevens Pass.
The pictures are great, thanks everyone for taking and sharing pictures. Can't wait until next year!!!
Kim, please take it easy now.. Remember, you are still recovery. relax.
I love all of you and hope you all have a Merry Christmas with your family.
