Sounds like a full house, Jimmy. All 3 of our kids were home plus a couple of students that couldn't get home. Went with the 9 lb. turkey breast, gold potatoes, sweet potatoes, vegetarian dressing. Val says she's never doing that again as her one with sausage is soooo good. Of course veggies and such as well as the meatless lasagna. Accomodating vegetarians is a real challenge. Toss in 6 pies and several bottles of wine and an evening of Pictionary. It was a rousing good time. Congrats on the new blessings coming your way. -Jeff
