We had a delectable Thanksgiving at cousin Betsy’s house
this year! The food was just awesome,
and it was really nice to see Jamie’s extended family – they are some pretty
great people. Of all the cousins, Maggie
was really drawn to Emma (the oldest), and Emma was very patient and sweet to
her. Emma and Hannah both took turns
holding Evie, who loved everyone fussing over her! As usual, Maggie was heartbroken when we had
to leave.

Evie got her helmet last week, and we have been increasing her wear-time each day. She doesn’t seem to hate it, but it has made her a bit ornery. She gets really warm while wearing it (which we were told to expect), so when we take off the helmet, her hair is dripping with sweat and smells pretty bad. She has a really hard time staying asleep for more than about an hour, so Jamie and I are constantly rocking and cuddling her through the night. I feel so awful doing this to her – I just want it to be over! We just finished ramping up to a full-time wear schedule, so maybe things will get better this week.
We spent the rest of the weekend putting up the Christmas decorations and a bunch of other household chores. We squeezed in a yummy brunch at Ale Mary’s on Sunday with the girls – and then decided to never do brunch with the girls again! It was actually fine, just a bit hectic keeping everyone happy.
