Personnally I would not try to bring such a large family group for earlier boarding as the guest of a single elite.
You seem to know my family situation.

You're right about a large group boarding early with one elite flyer. I'm not inclined to do it as well. I'll probably board with four people so that the carryons can be accomodated in the overhead bins.
