Halloween Dinner Party














On Sunday night, October 29th, 2007 I hosted a Halloween Dinner Party for my beloved family. They were so darling! What a blessing to have these grandchildren who are here so willing to come and be with us. It is a treasure beyond measure!

Here is my Halloween menu:
  • Frankenstein Roast ( found in my recipe book from Costco magazine)
  • Ghost Pudding (stuffing from Rachel Rays magazine for Thanksgiving also found in my recipe book)
  • Blood Suckers (cranberry sauce from Rachael Ray's magazine found in my book)
  • Frightening Greens ( a salad)
  • Nightmare Yams ( Yummy Yam casserole found in Beth 's Gourmet Treasure one of my favorite books)
  • Witch Brew (found in Favorites Recipe Book)
  • Trick or Treat Cookies
  • Grave Yard Cake (with a scary boney foot and a scary eyeball sticking out of the grave)
Everyone loved the meal and loved talking to each other which is so wonderful to me. How I love to see my family love one another and consider each other best friends. I love all of the adults and all of the kids with all my heart! Romey and Titan and Crew adore Anna. They are so good to her. Finn and Andrew were so excited to see Romey, Crew, Titan, and Anna and also the adults. Finn was so anxious to help and I love him for being so excited and wanting the family to be together so much. Here are all the pictures we took. Words cannot explain how I adore these sweet grandchildren. I pray constantly for them and am so very proud of each of them. God bless them always. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming not only on this Sunday Celebration get together that I will alway treasure in my mind and heart but also thank you for coming to our family. How lucky did I get? God blessed me so much. This is where my treasure is. This is where my heart is - with these wonderful bright and beautiful grandchildren and my beloved husband and children and their wonderful spouses, whom I adore and my wonderful testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know God lives and that Jesus is the Christ. I know Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and that Gordon B. Hinckley is a prophet of God. I know that family is top on my list of priorities and that the principle, " families can be together forever " is a true principle and a most comforting principle. May we all stay true to the cause of Christ and to the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. May we all stay true to each other and to our family.

I love all of you. kisses and hugs forever. your have my heart forever - all of the Kelly Clan near and far.

looks like you had a wonderful evening. I am SO JEALOUS!!! I'm glad it all turned out so well. I almost think maybe we shouldn't hear about these things because it makes us too sad! You are a great hostess and really go the extra mile. Thanks for all the kind words. We love you too!

Wow! It looks like you all had so much fun. I love seeing all the pictures. The menu looks scrumptious, the eyeball sounds a little scary, though. Love you and miss you.
