Kalani was able to make a candy house for the kindergarten class at her uncle’s grammar school.  This is a tradition that my grandmother started with my aunts and uncles.  Kalani probably ate more candy than she actually put on the house.  She quickly realized that if she dropped candy on the floor then I wouldn’t let her put it on the house and she was free to eat it.  She dropped a lot of candy!

Next big event was the marriage of Matt’s brother Adam to Diana.  A new in-law in the Farley family.  She is a sweet girl who has dark hair, dark eyes, short, and speaks Spanish.  I think that we know  what these Farley guys like.

Then it was Christmas.  We showed our family the End of the Year video where they realized that I was 18 weeks pregnant with a baby boy.

We spent a lot of time visiting with friends.  We were able to spend family night with the Davis family where we played games, had dinner and dessert and a wonderful evening.

Next we were off to the airport to pick up Makana and her daughter.  I was finally able to see and hold one of my nieces.  Kalani was very happy to meet her new cousin and to hold her.  I was able to keep the secret that Lei, Robbie and Makana were coming to California for Christmas and/or New Year.  I was pretty sneaky!

Matt and I celebrated our anniversary on airplanes.  However Matt was heading back to Scotland for work and I was heading off to an Eastern Caribbean cruise with my mother-in-law and sisters-in-law.  We had a wonderful week of being pampered; other people cleaning up after us and making our meals.  It was OUR cruise!  I LOVED the time that I was able to spend with the Fabulous Farley women to just relax and enjoy each others company.  I am one lucky girl to have married into such a wonderful family.
