Ari's blessing Day

While in California - Ari was blessed in the Simi 5th ward, on February 3rd. (Grandpa Jeff is currently bishop of the Simi 5th ward, so this was extra special). Ari was blessed by his Dad and there in the circle was also, his Grandpa Jeff, his great uncle Butch, Mike Dickerson Sr. (a family friend of the Williams), and Jason Hoffman (a friend of Ryan's)
It was a really special day for us and we were glad we were able to share it with so many close friends and family. It was sad that we could not have you all there with us, but you were in our hearts as I am sure we were in many of yours.
After Ari's blessing we had a luncheon in his honor at Grandma and Grandpa's - the weather was so nice, much better then the 10 degree weather we left in Salt Lake. Here are some photos from Ari's blessing. Oh yeah in true Ari style, our little man was blessed in a Hawaiian shirt, baby jeans and vans shoes. He is hip beyond his years.(or I guess in Ari's case beyond his months......)
