Well, even if it proves to be a big get together, it's just the one get together. And I bet it's fun.
Sounds like my family. It's just hard to get us together in one place.
There was nine of us kids. All are married and all but one had kids.
Now our kids are having kids. And those kids are having kids.
Then there is the problem of we all don't live in the same state.
We do mange once in a blue moon.

And I thought we had it rough with the Feb birthdays......granddaughter and MIL on the 4th, son on the 7th, DH's step daughter (previous marriage) on the 10th.
We are doing all the b-days today...adding in my daughter from her's on Jan 20th.

Just ran across this and had to laugh. Potato chips in the microwave? Seems like one heck of a lot of work vs doing them in the oven... Yeah the oven takes longer but you can bake them all in one batch!
Microwave Potato Chips
Active time: 30 minutes | Total: 30 minutes | To make ahead: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
You don't need a deep fryer to make crispy potato chips. We toss thinly sliced potatoes with just a touch of olive oil, pop them in the microwave and voilà! Crispy, crunchy homemade potato chips with 8 grams less fat per serving than regular chips.
1 1/3 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, unpeeled, scrubbed
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1. Slice potatoes into thin (1/8-inch) rounds. Toss the slices in a medium bowl with oil and salt to coat evenly.
2. Coat a large microwave-proof plate with cooking spray. Arrange some potato slices in a single layer on the plate. Microwave, uncovered, on High until some slices start to brown, 2 to 3 minutes (depending on potato thickness and microwave power). Turn the slices over and continue microwaving until they start to crisp and brown around the edges, 2 to 4 minutes more. Check frequently and rearrange slices as needed to prevent scorching. Transfer the chips to another plate and allow to cool completely. (They will crisp more as they cool.) Repeat with the remaining potato slices.
Makes 4 servings, 12-14 chips each.
Per serving: 141 calories; 2 g fat (0 g sat, 2 g mono); 0 mg cholesterol; 26 g carbohydrate; 3 g protein; 2 g fiber; 291 mg sodium; 807 mg potassium.
