All Hallows’ Eve Party 2024

by | Nov 8, 2024 | All Hallows Eve, All Saints Day | 0 comments

This year’s All Hallows’ Eve Party was extra special—it was the first time we had all nine of our kids together for the feasts of All Saints and All Souls! I shared about the surprise visit from two of our young adult kids here. We kept things simple but festive, with a cozy potluck dinner featuring our family’s favorite chili and pumpkin cupcakes.. The kids had a blast dressing up as some of their favorite saints, and we played a few fun games.

Here are some pictures from the party!

Party Food

What I prepared:

  • Chili for a Crowd – This year I made a Quadruple Batch but some of our guests couldn’t make it at the last minute so we had a leftover pot full. It still was all eaten within a few days. My kids all love it! I used the recipe linked, but doubled the peppers and celery, replaced one can of diced tomatoes with tomato sauce, subbed one can of black beans for one of the kidney beans, and used maple syrup instead of sugar. Then quadrupled it in my two large pots. SO GOOD!
  • Diced onions and cheese for on top of the Chili
  • Hot Dogs and Buns
  • Meatballs in the Crock Pot
  • Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
  • Cheesecake – from Costco
  • Water Bottles
  • Wine – My husband pulled out a couple bottles from his favorite Southern Oregon Wineries that he brought back from all his firefighting assignments there this past summer. He was gone so much this year!
  • Trader Joe’s Spiced Apple Cider, warmed

This year our guests brought:

  • Pizza (A super fun HUGE pizza!)
  • Side Salads
  • Other Hearty Appetizers including Shrimp
  • Delicious Bread for with the Chili

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
