As we are writing this post Ben and I are finally back in Chicago (and back to work unfortunately). As you may have read, Ben and I traveled down to Brookville after our Bundalo Family Christmas in Michigan. We got to be there when Drake finally came home! We spent a lot of time with Zack, Jenny, Mackenzie, and Drake; which was wonderful! Mackenzie is the model big sister and is compeletly enamored with him. Anytime her mommy or daddy are holding Drake she wants to hold Drake too. Her parents and grandparents were very smart in giving Mackenzie her very own baby doll complete with mini stoller, pack-n-play, bouncy seat, play mat, and diaper bag. It was adorable to see her play with her baby and do everything Zack and Jenny would do for Drake with her own baby doll. One of the cutest things I saw Mackenzie do was "give" all of her toys to Drake. She would just hand over all her toys to her parents and say "Drake's". It reminds me of a story my mom tells about my sister Beth when my parents brought me home from the hospital. Beth filled my bassinet with her toys. Now one could argue that she may have had some alterior motives, but if you knew my sister you know that she did it out of sisterly love! (Right Beth! wink wink.) Ben's brother, Pat, and parents came down for New Years and we celebrated Christmas together. It was awesome to be together for New Years. We always have so much whenever we are with our families. 2009 will be an exciting year for Ben and I. We are really looking forward to our wedding. Only 199 days to go! Below are some pictures and some video of our Christmas vacation. Be sure to check out the video of Ben changing Drake's diaper!

What a great post! Looks like your nephew is a good shot. You guys are such a great aunt and uncle! That video of Ben pushing Kate is too cute. I laughed out loud. 199 days to go until the wedding, but how many more until we get a little Katie or a little Ben? Do I sound like Nana yet. Love you guys!
