The day after Thanksgiving we went up to the mountains in Asheville, North Carolina for a quick little day trip.
It is our family tradition to always get a tree from the North Carolina Mountains. Even though this year I know traditions will change, this is one my heart couldn't bare to let go of.
So, 8 months pregnant I trapsed up and down the mountains with my hubs, sister, and father in search of the perfect tree. We found it.
We ended the evening with dinner at the Grove Park Inn and watched the sun and Venus set behind the western North Carolina mountains.
I have a pretty fantastic story to share about mine and Mr. Murphy's first Christmas tree together but it is going to have wait until tomorrow. Until then here are a few glimpses of what Christmas is turning up like in our home.

idea for "O Holy Night" framed on the mantel was inspired by this lovely lady, she has some other great DIY's too
Merry Christmas!
