We blessed Aiden today. It was a wonderful day and we had a ton of family and friends here with us. The blessing was beautiful, Forrest did a great job. And we had a great luncheon afterward. We were so happy to have so much love and support.
Aiden Bradley Grigg was given his name and a blessing by his father, Forrest Wayne Grigg, Sunday, September 7, 2008 in Sacrament Meeting held in the Rexburg 13th Ward.
