Here's the latest - Paul and Natasha will arrive on 12/16 and stay until 12/23. They will then fly to Ft. Lauderdale to spend Christmas with Natasha's family. Still waiting to hear final plans for Mark and Kristin - although they assure me they're coming home. I made a reservation for Dec. 22 at 5:00 p.m. for all of us to have dinner at Bucca Di Beppo's - in the "Pope's room." That 's one date when we canl all be together. Carrie, Jim and Finn come home on 12/21; Paul and Tasha leave on 12/23; Mark and Kristin are staying through Christmas - so 12/22 seemed like the best date to get our family together. Stay tuned for updates.
Love, Me
well now that the travel plans are all squared away - can someone send over a pumpkin pie recipe? Natasha is hosting a Thanksgiving celebration for our group of NYC transplants and I'm in charge of bringing the pumpkin pie. Let me know if there's a family recipe out there. I really want to use a pecan shortbread crust for it, but I've never done that before. Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, doesn't it? :-)
