Would have prefered snow!! So - hope you are still having tons of fun it's sure to be a memorable NYE in NYC. By the time mum and dad pick you up on 4th - I will be back at Keele - booo!! But will be looking forward to flying out on 8th. Hope your adventures have been everything you expected and more. With very best wishes - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Big Sis Kirst xx

izzy Hi,you two Looks like your having a great time in New York.Haven't looked at your photo's/videos yet but i'm sure they'll be really cute.it's probably snowing very heavily over there,which makes it the most perfect christmas ever.We haven't even got sleet which wasn't good because i was expecting snow.Anyway have a fab christmas and New year! Izzy xxxx

Alex, Ade, James and Izzy A day early I know but wanted to wish you a fantastic New Year - I knew you would love NY, its by far the best place we've ever been too and NY aswell, jealous as hell. Wouldnt you rather be sitting in like us, watching Corrie and repeats of the Royle Family, eating left over chocs and consuming all the remaining booze - of course you would!!! It was lovely to speak to you on Christmas Day and we cant wait to see you on 4th Jan - we are dead excited, I could cry now - pathetic I know. By the time I am 50, I will just cry instead of speak. Christmas, no doubt, was fab and with Niall and Sarah coming to you aswell, NY in NY will be 11/10. All the very, very best for 2010 - and Ian (Jo, sorry my apologies) hope you found Tiffany's ok and I am waiting to see a big rock next Monday, that was 'rock' I said. How rude - Hee!! Hee!! We all have high expectations so no pressure there. Love to you both from your every loving s-i-l and bro & two little sprogs who are dying to see you both. xxx HAPPY NEW YEAR xxx
