Halloween Night

This year we tried something a little different for Halloween night. Our parish was holding an All Saints Day Party as an alternative to trick or treating. We decided to go to that this year and it was so much fun! Not only were many of our friends there, but there was a parade of saints, games, candy and prizes... all following a great potluck dinner.


Our 2 oldest boys wanted to go as their patron saints: Saint Dominic Savio and Saint Blaise. Xavier went as Pope Saint Pius X and Zachary went as Saint John Vianney.

It was fun and we all like it more than trick or treating so it looks like we have ourselves a new family tradition!

Thank you to the Sullivans for letting us borrow the undergarment and thanks to my mom for finishing up the robe. I didn't have the time to finish the sewing so my mom took over. Mom also made Dominic's white "surpluss" What a nice job she did! I ordered Xavier's costume. It's a baptismal gown that just happens to look like what the pope wears.

They played Noah's Ark

and Crossing the Red Sea

along with quite a few other games that they could play as many times as they wanted.

Their prizes were candy after each game or a token you could trade at the prize table.

What a wonderful treat!
