Many of the words you've written don't "exist", but most likely the translation
goes like this: 

"Dear Karry and Douglas,

How's dad- uncle Kjell? Hope he's healthy.

We are growing older our selves- Hans is 67 and I am 61 years old, but i'm still
working full shifts at the dentist's office. 

Luckily we are healthy. We have a dog aged 15 that keep us walking everyday.

We wish you could come to Norway and visit us. You Douglas are my cousin and
half norwegian. 

We wish you a merry Xmas and a happy new year!
Hugs,
Nutte and Hans"
