      I think it's super they work so well together and also get to spend so many hours in each other's company. Philip is way beyond his years with his knowledge, sensibilities and gentlemanly nature.

    My mother, sister and I had a holiday tradition...we polished all the silver in both houses just before Thanksgiving. We also cleaned the baking pantries. We were ready for the holidays. I miss it. My mother is sadly transitioning to the end of life. She always made it wonderful for us. Please hug your mother's often this holiday season. God Bless all at Lalande and your extended families.

    Reading a little about the Aachen Christmas Market in Germany where Stephanie and Philip will meet with Philip's mother to celebrate her birthday, a tidbit of surprising information is that it is the site of the larger than life six meters Printen gingerbread man. That’s far more than enough gingerbread for the hungriest to nibble on right through to New Years Day and beyond.

    You 2 are a such perfect pair. Love to see you working together and I even love your little “squabbles”. You always work them out so reasonably (maybe not so reasonable off camera? 😂). The room looks absolutely beautiful. I love the garland over the bed, sorry Phillip but I do agree with Phillip about the tree it was too big and a little droopy for the room and your aunt will love the Champagne station, it’s perfect. Great idea, Phillip.

    Stephanie. I know from your vlogs that the old Marquis wanted you to rethink buying the Chateau at only 28 years old. He had you sleep in that very room. You make the drapes for the bed with matching cloth to the walls that the Marquis found in a drawer. Then you added a shower and toilet hidden in the closets, and Michael painted the woodwork in panels. It is a unique experience based on your love of your first room at Lalande. 😘😘😘
