My maiden name is Blair, so every time I read something on your blog that references your last name I am taken home. Merry Christmas from a fellow “Blair”!

Go Ralph! What fun — you make me want a houseful of kids! :-)

10 dani December 24, 2010 at 8:57 pm

How fun! What a nice memory that will be one day! Good job Ralph!

fun video – i have a daughter who is way into making little films, she and ralph would be great friends… i hope you have a beautiful christmas, love the passport/gifts your kids are going to be receiving. the color coding idea is awesome – we travel internationally frequently as a family, and whenever it’s time to pair-up the passports to each of the six of us, it always takes a few minutes. i’ve always thought passport covers would just be extra work…now i am going to totally go with the color coded ones. super idea. happy holidays!

This is awesome! Well done, Ralph! Very impressive! Merry Christmas, Blairs!

26 Tina December 25, 2010 at 9:17 am

LOVE IT! I have to comment because that song is on our holiday play list this year and after you posted that adorable family’s video card (with the way-cool film talent) I thought it would be fun to try an amateur version next year (because I am definitely not a talented film maker!) . I thought this would be the PERFECT song! Looks like Ralph beat me to it….and now I need a flip! So cool and many props to the little director in the making!
Happiest of holidays to you and your clan!
Best,
Tina

27 Lori December 27, 2010 at 2:56 pm: Tina,
What song is that? I loved it, but everytime I tried to comment on the video on Youtube, it would error. Please share! :)

Merry Christmas, Blair family!

29 Natalie December 25, 2010 at 10:51 am

Tell Ralph thanks for sharing his talent. That was pretty cool.

30 Amanda December 25, 2010 at 1:02 pm

Gabrielle, I am in awe. I’m not going to lie I got a little teary, when such creativity comes from a child I am always amazed and inspired.
Enjoy the holidays.

31 Renata December 25, 2010 at 3:08 pm

What a fun video! Very talented kiddo!

32 Madhavi December 25, 2010 at 4:37 pm

35 Jules December 25, 2010 at 7:37 pm

Merry Christmas! What a talent that Ralph is. Every time I feel bittersweet about my boys getting older, you post something that makes me look forward to what is yet to come. :)

36 Sara December 25, 2010 at 7:39 pm

Totally rad! Your family rocks; thanks, as always, for sharing!

Joyeux Noel to the Blair Family! Ralph’s video is great. From here to the Academy Awards, and we can all say we were his fans from the very beginning. :-)

48 Jan @ Family Bites December 26, 2010 at 7:58 pm

Ralph rocks! Great, great job.

49 Kate The Great December 27, 2010 at 12:08 am

I love it. Great music choice. And kids running around, jumping on everyone, shrieking and screaming? Yeah, kind of exactly it. Just kind of.

50 Leslie December 27, 2010 at 7:18 am

Adorable. Maybe the best part of Christmas is the waking up part!! So cute. And honestly, it makes me want to have more kids!! I love the idea of a big family and seeing all the kids go from room to room to wake each other up is just amazing. Great job Ralph!! Keep it up. Thanks for sharing.

51 Louise December 27, 2010 at 7:56 am

That was wonderful!!! Loved the song, loved the kids, loved everything. Having six kids at home for Christmas – that must be the BEST!

52 Genevieve December 27, 2010 at 8:53 am

I really like this! That Ralph has some serious filmmaking talent! Merry Christmas Design Mom and Family!

53 Nicole December 27, 2010 at 9:38 am

WOW! That was fantastic, well done Ralph. Merry Christmas!

54 Liz Brown December 27, 2010 at 11:14 am

Love it! That was really cute and fun! I bet all your kids had a great time filming that.

55 findingmagnolia December 27, 2010 at 11:56 am

Ralph did an amazing job. Zinashi is standing next to me saying, “More, Mami! MORE!” She wants to watch it again, and so do I. Merry Christmas a couple of days late, Blair Family!
