This is an interesting discussion and one covered quite extensively at LFI which I recommend you go to if possible.
I applaud you getting a plan in order and drilling your family.
Based on what I got from Mas here's what I think (there are a bunch of us LFI Grads here so Frank and Gary feel free to jump in)
1. Get up and quickly arm yourself.
2. Call 911.
3. Get dressed, at least slip on pants.
4. If at all possible get your family to one safe room.
5. Yell, rack shotgun, establish physical presence by a dominating statement, "Drop your weapons, leave my home."
6. Get to a good ambush position and make them come to you. With the police on the way they will have to move quickly.. Ideally they will make a quick exit. You can't play John Wayne but no one is killed and the police can do their jobs.
7. If after you give a warning and they still come toward you do not yell another warning, the are going to kill you, shoot at the moment you see them. You do not have to yell 'turn" or anything, shoot!!!
8. On the phone have your wife, SO, bunkbuddy, or yourself if necessary describe you, the layout of the house, number of bad guys.
