Can someone help me with the Yiddish?


I am trying to translate this postcard. I think the first sentence is something like "To our best friend..." Then I can make out "shvigger" and "brother and sister", but I can't quite put it together. It is signed "Moshe and Basya"

Other than the first three words, I think it says:
To our best friends: sister and brother-in-law. From your best friends - brother and sister, brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Moshe and Basya.
I'm not sure what the first bit is - it looks like אױף אײנדײנם, "on" something.

"Ein deinem" seems to mean "your one" in German.
