I know the big job of cleaning out houses and decluttering as I did it for my father-in-law. It will be nice if you do the luncheon for your moms friends. The cabana is gorgeous. It's so much fun all of the places you have taken Miss Lola with you. That is great that your group is growing too. <br />Have a nice week.<br />Julie xoJulie's Creative Lifestylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356593535311926517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387975205672104946.post-91539113136656964442018-12-02T09:06:08.029-08:002018-12-02T09:06:08.029-08:00Emily, we love our home.

Love your MC nutcrackers - they are so gorgeous. I can't believe that giant nutcracker - it just towers over you. It must be fabulous to see in person.<br />The cabana and pool are looking amazing too. I can't wait to see that in person too - haha!

I know she appreciates your devotion and care. Cherish these times together. Your pool cabana is gorgeous. Well, all of your home and property is gorgeous! I'm always amazed at the lovely California properties with their lush surroundings. I know you and Paul keep busy with all that is involved, but as Monique commented, your home is like a fine resort. <br />Love the cute MKC nutcrackers in the kitchen. How perfect for them to stand guard as you are busy around the kitchen. It was fun for me to see the Nicolson Glass snow people. A good friend here collects these. She always has them on her mantel this time of the year. I didn't realize they were made in CA. <br />Thanks for sharing all the adventures. Happy Holidays to you and Paul and your mom.

Of course, the Pottery World photos are awesome, especially with the alien and reindeer. You look fabulous too. I know you've been super busy, but was glad to hear you were able to get your mom out to enjoy the glass-making. That looked fun, and the snowmen are adorable. <br />It's so fun to gather the tribe each quarter virtually, and I hope 2019 might have a real life gathering in the cards.
