Dear Chris and Kristina- I tried to call you today but the little girl that answered said you weren't there... my message to you that I tried to send last night was deleted by mom after someone came to the front door and mom HAD to find something on the computer... anyway what I wanted to say was how much Ive enjoyed your missives and photos, I can't wait to see the slide show! Sounds like you had a very nice birthday-we missed you very muchbut everyone sends they're best; AuntElaine/Pat/Gramma/Maria/Grnddad/Aunt ann//Mom and me
Happy B-day

Hey Chris- you are 22!! Very impressive. From all I've heard you are having a fabulous time, you and Kristina look beautiful in all the pictures, and the Turkish bowls are really lovely. I can't say so much about the Turkish delight which tasted like eating perfume to me, but mom and dad seem to have enjoyed it.

You are being missed quite a lot- especially this past Long Island weekend where food was (as always in massive quantities) and there was an open bar. Your height and impressions of Mirna were also lacking on the Islip party scene. I love you and miss you very much and can't wait to see all the pictures and hear all the stories. Give my best to Kristina!! Happy Birthday- enjoy it!!
Love Maria

Happy Birthday Christopher I am thinking about you today & hoping that you are having a wonderful birthday!

Love you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aunt Annie

Hey:) I was just taking a look at your pix....they're amazing. Hope you had a good time in Croatia. I really wish we could have met up. I can't believe you were in Dubrovnik and we didn't see eachother considering I live there for 9 out of 12 months!!! I'm really upset about it:( Hope you guys are enjoying the rest of your trip:)

xoxo

After my week on LBI, just got caught up on your most recent travels. WOW!!!
We're booked for Ireland. Can't wait. Pints all around!
Missed you both over the weekend when Mom, Al & Kev joined Uncle Andrew & Derek at my house.

And, I also saw Alison's post and thought , well not EVERYONE has posted!
