Party for Anna-Lisa

Beautiful Anna-Lisa Östhed

Simon's farmor is visiting from Sweden and so we had a big shindig to welcome her! Since I have been in the Östhed family she has visited America 4 times. She comes and stays for 3 months at a time and it has been fun to get to know her better during her visits. She is such an amazing woman and the reason the Östhed family joined the church. There were over 40 family members at the party. This was the first party in a long time that so many Östheds have attended. Anna-Lisa had 4 of her 6 children in attendance. (two sons live in Sweden) It was fun to see everyone and visit and of course enjoy so much delicious food!

The whole group, minus a few.

This is probably the first picture of everyone in it!

These two are best of friends!
