That was fabulous! Merry Christmas!

Kim said...

LOVED IT!

You looked so beautiful!

Just so you know, my 2 year old was trying to dance like you were and said "Shake your hair like her Mommy!"

So you have a fan in Connor.

Constancia said...

I have to say, this little video gave me a smile and a little more Christmas cheer than I woke up with this morning! THANKS! A very Merry Christmas to you and all yours!! BTW...I just have to tell you that I discovered the Chief's name (as I'm sure others have as well) and I have to admit, it was a highlight of my day...I'm weird, and I think I sound a little like a stalker now! I NEED A LIFE, but thanks for sharing yours!!! Again, Merry Christmas!

Cassandra said...

1. This video made me smile. A lot.

2. I can't imagine why you didn't sing at Claire's baptism. You're FABULOUS.

Jenn said...

Elizabeth said...

Adorable! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

amelia said...

For years I've been singing this "Comin' down the chimney NOW" - wow, that would have been embarrassing if your camera guy came to my house next.

Gerb said...

This comment is from Julia, your biggest fan:

I. Love. You. You will always be my favorite!

courtneyb said...

you're awesome.

Emily said...

that made my who stinkin night. you are hilarious. :)

Amy J said...

Trisha said...

Awesome! You gotta do more videos on here!

Sparks said...

I wish I could get my mouth to shut, but my jaw dropped onto my desk and I can't seem to reel it back in. That was a spectacle of unparalleled Christmas cheer.

Camille said...

I'd pay thousands to have your vocal talents! That was fabulous.
P.S. Why was your guest so quick to leave? :)
Merry Christmas!

Emily Hill said...

That was the perfect way to end a rather long and stressful day. You're one hot momma! I think you're next gig should be as a Rockette during their Christmas spectacular. You'd definitely light up the stage! FABULOUS!

I am Lorinda W- you can call me LoW said...

haha!! That was AWESOME!!!

TRS said...

If only you were more enthusiastic.

(sarcasm font off)

You're hilarious... you bring me joy!

Brittany said...

Are you at all interested in being friends with me, Kate Winslet, and Rachel McAdams? I think we could have some good times. . . just sayin',

{april kennedy} said...

you are freakin' hilarious! I was going to do that too on my blog, but now everyone will just think I was copying you!

haha! Brilliant...once again. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

SusieQ said...

Watched that with my 15 yr old son and he laughed and thought you were funny. So there you have it. It's not easy for an adult to get a funny vote from a 15 yr old.

the Lola Letters said...

Ha ha!! That was seriously amazing. And the house? So warm and cozy! I want to go to there.

Kay, so this is going to sound really random, but I just saw your post about possibly getting your little guy a cat, and I have no idea how the discussion ended, and I am sooo way too lazy to sign up for a discussion board so I could post something on the actual thread where this was being discussed, but I wanted to tell you that we got an Exotic Short-hair Persian when my husband and I got married, and he was the best thing that ever happened to us.

When our son was born, Binx (the cat) w.o.r.s.h.i.p.p.e.d. him. Binx followed him everywhere, came when Kort called, and let Kort carry him all over the house. He was just happy to be part of the family. We seriously almost died when he passed away unexpectedly 2 years ago.

Exotic Persians are also called "rag doll" cats because they are super calm and easy-going and go limp when you pick them up. No scratching, no fighting, just complete submission. They are so great.

Kay, so, most random comment ever.
Sorry about that!

Have a great Christmas!

Kathleen said...

That was awesome! Merry Christmas to you too!! (And could you tell Matthew & Maggie that Mrs. Vallejo says Hi!! and Merry Christmas!!! I was their 2nd grade teacher and I loved seeing them as your backup singers!)

cansmithfam said...

Oh cjane you crack me up!

Make Do and Mend said...

I loved the video. I would have loved it even more if the asinine LEGO/DUPLO add would have not expanded ever 2.5 seconds, blocking my view - and yes, I did hit close, nasty little ad. Sorry. You're singing was lovely and I can't believe you got your family to do background vocals. You rock!

thorney said...

I love it! Merry Christmas!!!!

Uma and Wil said...

You gave me a big smile on my face first thing in the morning. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

mrs. kleiner said...

Ummm. Hilarious. I love the breathy- I can barely breathe-this baby is up in my lungs-business.

Merry Christmas you lovely lady!

Sammi said...

Courtney that was awesome :o)

You looked absolutely pregnancy glowing beautiful too!!!

Gina said...

Fantastic! Makes me want to put on some red lippy and dance around the Christmas tree.

Only problem is I am wearing my unglamorous jammies, I look like something the cat dragged in after a day of working in the hospital and I would probably trip up over the ironing board and break a leg!

Janika said...

Loved it. Oh, and your mom in the background was the icing on the cake! She is so cute.

Kit said...

Courtney, THAT was WICKED AWESOME (as we say here).
Thank you so much.
Your family is awesome, especially the little niece who showed off your little boy...

Don't be jealous everybody. "Kiki" is her pet name for me.
Hey, next time, why don't you lip sync and I'll sing behind you.
Kind of like the whole Lina Lamont/Kathy Seldon thing in Singing in the Rain.
THAT would be fun.
I'll bring the curtains.
Call me.

Carrot Jello said...

Oh, and I would have let you sing at my baptism. However, you weren't around in 1978.

Katie C said...

My son was sitting on my lap as I watched that wondeful video and he said, "HEY!!! Thats you momma!" LOL I kept telling him it's not me but he keeps asking to watch Momma sing. HAHAHA! I only wish I could put on such a SPECTACULAR performance! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

This is officially my first comment, and it's because I couldn't resist. How could you not acknowledge how amazing that was?!
Merry Christmas to you too!

Camille Staker said...

happy christmas.

amanda said...

hahaha...
yes, c jane, this is also my first comment EVER.
This incredibly excellent mini-film is so great. My fav. part is your greeting and then when the girl picks up the little boy for his cameo. Anyway.
Thanks for the entertainment,
and,
Merry Christmas!!!

JoanneK said...

Mah-velous!!!
Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!!

A Musing Mom (Taylorclan6) said...

Do you do personal engagements?

Talent. Oozing. You could totally make it on Broadway.

Amy C. said...

Oh c jane - that was fabulous! You totally rocked it! Merry Christmas!!

Jeannie said...

Ever since Glee, I've been performing all around the house much to the cringing of the children but I've got your will and enthusiasm and all the right moves...i just need accompaniment (and a singing voice, but I wouldn't let that stop me...) Your song is snappy yes, but just wait til I put out MY YouTube video. I'll bet I get 2 or 3 people look at it while you get 179 'atta girl' comments! And, you've got willing backup singers...mine'll leave the room and there'll be Jeannie, singing to the little Canon Elph, all by her lonesome. Well, in my dreams then, in my dreams.

Merry Christmas!

Jean said...

What a great video. I see Broadway in your future!

Heather said...

Hahahahahahahaha, that was awsome!!!

Beckie said...
