PrEaster
Our good friends Chad & Michelle created a holiday that comes the Saturday before Easter every year. Everyone is invited and everyone is allowed to invite everyone else. IT is a collection of friends, strangers, connections, friend circles, and family members who come together to create a big family Easter celebration. Now that we are in our 20’s , starting families, and moving for jobs, not all of us have family near by to celebrate with. This tradition brings us together for a huge potluck event where we can play corn hole, eat great food, catch up with friends, pray together, and celebrate the gift of Jesus.
We’ve been invited the last couple years and it is a tradition I am obsessed with. I love having friends that are more like family and huge get togethers that feel like crazy family reunions! These photos are some of the photos I took that day because these are moments I never want to forget.
What a great idea… that looks so fun! That's similar to what a lot of us expats here do over Thanksgiving or Christmas since we're often far away from our families.
We call friends like that "Framily." Ha.
I love corn-hole! So fun! I haven't played since college though!
This looks like so much fun! Cute babies 🙂
We do something similar on Easter Day. After church we host a potluck for as many friends and family who can come/we can fit. It's our annual Easter "Framily" Dinner (http://www.thepomeroylife.com/why-we-bought-a-house/). Growing up my mom always hosted Easter dinner at our house. So when I got married and moved away it was something I wanted to continue doing.
