Hearing the mama’s read those awesome letters that Philip wrote. Very specific to each child. What a wonderful man! Way to go Philip’s mama! The children was so very excited! What a truly spectacular evening!
This is the second time I've watched this one! How clever Philip is with the children's poems! What a wonderful thing to do for the children, AND adults. WELL DONE Philip, P's Ma and Jarod. Loving the Advents, have been watching for the last 3 years! (And in the middle of the year). THANK YOU! From Oz. 🥳🎄🧑🎄👏👏👏👏🥰🐝🐝🌼🌻
Phillip's mom is truly incredible. The kids were adorable, and it sure sets the tone for Advent. Anna Lise looks gorgeous, and I miss seeing her on the vlogs. So it's a treat to see her here.
I just read Dan's vlog last night where he let us all know that he and Annalise were no longer together. Everyone was pouring their hearts out to him and what a good dad he is. This is in no way intended to take anything away from him but I burst into tears when in this vlog Stephanie introduced them as Annalisa's children. I am so glad to see that Stephanie and everyone from the Chateau has embraced her and the children and yet hopefully things will work out for the family to be united sometime in the future. Annalise is now a single mother in a country not her own, learning a language other than her mother tongue, no close friends or family to celebrate with. Stephanie & Philip, thank you so very much for the beautiful caring people you are. Much love from a Grandma in Toronto, Canada.
My father in law was Dutch and my mother in law always did St Nicolas to give the presents for the children and adults. It brings back such wonderful memories
Touching and funny. I love that Amy and Mark are with you for these fun days. They are so lovely and their children are adorable. And Dan's boys are cute and witty as ever. I loved to see Annelies again. She had been missing from the vlogs for some time. She is so caring. Thank you Philipp. 🙏
Oh my gosh!!! This brought tears to my eyes I absolutely LOVED this one! Philip you are truly a keeper! I loved watching the magic in the children's eyes! Of course, the magic in Amaury's eyes was also delightful!
Phillip, you are so thoughtful. What a wonderful time the children had. Children are the greatest joy of life ! Merry sinterklass! Your mother made the night!
So lovely to see the children taking centre stage.. and how well behaved they all were during the Sinterklass experience. All at an age when they can truley get lost in the magic.
Well done Sinter Claus (aka Phillip and his mom) It just warms your heart to see the joy in those boys faces. Thank you for a little more information on a Dutch Holiday tradition!
HOW EXCITING for the children!! Phillip I love this tradition! I LOVE these ADVENT posts!! I give advent calendars to my daughter, her husband and now granddaughter! its so much fun! Stephanie, really and truly loved these posts!!
This is the best day of advent yet. Somehow children make every holiday event more magical. How wonderful for you all, especially Phillipp and his mom, to include them in this special tradition.
I'd say those kids are in great hands! I love seeing any adult get so excited for a child's own happiness. Way to go Philip, spoil them babies! 🥰🥰😊😊That was very sweet for the kids.
Philip has the biggest heart! ..what a beautiful. Kind , selfless human he is! ..always thinking of others to make them feel special...❤..this was so sweet..x he has a heart of pure gold ..❤
Magical! Well done, thank you Philip, Jared and Philip's mother and Amaury for creating this and Stephanie for filming. Made my day. How great to keep the tradition alive and bring these kids together.
I agree totally and did you see the look on Amaury's face he would make an excellent father. If they choose to have children together I think they would both be amazing parents.
How sweet this was for the kiddos! Philip is such a sweet man! Good guys get such a bad "rap" with the saying, "Good guys finish last." I believe good guys are the BEST! What I love about LaLande is that it attracts people who are beautiful inside - who are such lovely and precious souls. It's a gathering of people who aim to enjoy life, forge connections and make their lives and others better for the interactions between them. Merry Christmas!
Oh my goodness; Sinterklaas at the Chateau actually gets to be celebrated with kiddos this year! Both The Big Adult Ones lol, and the Littles. I wonder how Jack, Thomas, and Clement are getting along! They're the next generation of Chateau Owners after all, and will need to rely on each other just like their parents do😊.
Philipp you have outdone yourself!! Your mother is so sweet to have sent that. As a mother that would have been so lovely for anyone to have done for me and my children. 😊
Oh my days!!! I'm not really crying, someone must be slicing onions!!!! 😢😢😢. I've referred to Steph being a keeper for Philip but really, Philip you are the best value partner ever!!!! What a darling!
Oh my gosh, Philip and his mom and SinterKlaus outdid himself again!!! How sweet! So nice to see Annalise and her boys especially with Marc and Amy and their children. Love and hugs from Mary in Southern California 💗🤗
Seeing Phillip running around telling the kids about Sinterklaas and seeing his smile as the story was read out. He's just reached new levels of sweetness.
Il est plaisant de revoir Annalise et ses enfants espiègles 😄 ! C’est adorable, Philip, d’avoir pensé à organiser une Saint Nicolas à ta façon! Et les lettres aux enfants sont admirablement bien tournées 👍🏻… et le bonus pour Les adultes !!! Généreux 🎁🎁🎁 ! Quelle(s) surprise(s) pour demain ? 😄 À bientôt ! 🌸🌸🌸
Oh this is the best! So sweet to see the simple joy and belief of the children. And Philip! And Philip's Mother! All of you are so thoughtful, right down to the last "detail" -- gifts for the grownups too.Thank you for this delight!
Gosh, this is totally my favourite Advent vlog! Loved seeing these sweet children excitedly enjoying Phillip’s lovely celebration. Thanks to Phillips mama for the letters. Love love love LaLande at🎄
Just seeing the joy on the childrens’ faces and hearing their delight is so heartwarming. Transforming a room in the chateau into a magical place for children made me smile. Thank you to Phillip, his mom and to everyone who made this video extra special.
I love Phillip having so much fun, being the secret Sinterklaas! That was fun to watch, so happy for the children. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas to all! (from Sandi)
That was so adorable Phillip and wonderful of your mother to arrange such a treat for the children Phillip. You did a fantastic job it was lovely to here the children laughing
This is one of the sweetest things I’ve ever seen. I’ve loved Phillip sense the beginning. He has such a tender heart! Kudos to Stephanie for supporting him in this. I love you both! As well as the whole LeLande family. And for you guys to make Annalise and her children feel so welcome 🥰
This was such a joy to watch! I always feel emotional seeing the pure joy and excitement in a child’s face during the holiday season! Philip and his mother are so sweet to share this beloved holiday with the children and all at LaLande! Well done to all who had a hand in creating this magical evening for the children!❤
What do you think Stephanie? Is that Philip a keeper? I sure think so. He is so talented, creative, sweet and kind on top of being fair, decent and honest....His parents must be so proud of him. The kids just loved every moment of it .......magical and fitting for Lalande, those that live there and those that visit. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all!
I want you to know that the costs for the unexpected repairs will never outweigh the joy that you bring to this world. A world that needs that sense of peace, love, and joy so much.
Phillip always knows when and how to use his Magic ! Hopeing that there is a little Christmas miracle or magic for Phillip this Christmas. He so deserves it ! ❤🏰
Philip is really such a wonderful man; a perfect match for Stephanie and her joyous nature. I just love Amaury reaction to receiving gifts- like a happy young boy. I noticed his reaction last year at Christmas time.
Having children around is so exciting. Terrific job Philip! Enjoyed learning about the tradition as I have a large Dutch heritage (going back to the 1600's)
Phillip has a wonderful heart! ❤ His spirit of generosity of his time, talents, and love is truly a blessing to see. I absolutely adore the Christmas series!
Philip your cards were absolutely extraordinary! What a fun time to watch the kids. They all seem to get along really well. That’s really a cool tradition was wonderful to see. I think Philip had as much fun as the kids did. Thank you for taking us along.🤟🏻💜🎄🎅🇺🇸
It was lovely seeing Amy and Marc from Chateau de Roseries visiting you. Clement looked very happy tucking into the sweet goodies and making new friends! Everyone looked very cosy next to the fire quite idyllic x
No matter how many or how fabulous the decorations, the joy and magic of Christmas is all about the excitement of children. That was excellent Philip...
That was so cute, made me cry happy tears. It was so sweet of your mother Phillip to send you the true Dutch tradition gifts for you to follow through, bless her. I love Christmas it brings everyone together ❤ Joyeuses Fêtes à tous 🎄
Love that Philip did Sinter Klaas for the children. I used to love that day. We would leave hay and carrots in our shoes for his horse. There would be a terrific banging on the door, startling us half to death, and one of his Piets would throw pepernoten into the room. We would all be too much in a hurry to gather as many of them as we could to ever get a glimpse of Sinter Klaas and his horse. Sooo exciting!
I think they opened the doll house advent within the family and a few friends only, as the rest of the events and cooking vlogs had be planned out long ago.
This was so heart warmingly adorable 😍. Phillip you and your mom made it so special for the children but also the adults. The children's eyes wide open were so precious.
I grew up in Wisconsin where there is a large German population and the tradition of St. Nick's Day is still celebrated there. We would hang stockings by the fire on the night of the 5th and find them filled with a few treats the next morning as an incentive to be good through the rest of the month until Santa came back. I love the old tradition, so I brought it with me to Washington state and celebrate it with my kids (who are now all grown ups!) with hopes that it will someday be carried on to the next generation.

I love that the moment Philip started talking about the children putting their shoes next to the fireplace ,Amaury starts to take his shoes off.
I didn’t even notice that!
Yes, I noticed too. Made me smile. I hope he wasn’t too disappointed 😆
Hearing the mama’s read those awesome letters that Philip wrote. Very specific to each child. What a wonderful man! Way to go Philip’s mama! The children was so very excited! What a truly spectacular evening!
Stephanie and Phillip are so well matched 😊that was fantastic for the children😊
I didn't know I could love Phillip any more than I already did! 🥰
This is the second time I've watched this one! How clever Philip is with the children's poems! What a wonderful thing to do for the children, AND adults. WELL DONE Philip, P's Ma and Jarod. Loving the Advents, have been watching for the last 3 years! (And in the middle of the year). THANK YOU! From Oz. 🥳🎄🧑🎄👏👏👏👏🥰🐝🐝🌼🌻
Ohhh Philip, you really are such a star! Such thoughtfulness and kindness went into making Sinterklass so special for the children. Perfect!
Phillip's mom is truly incredible. The kids were adorable, and it sure sets the tone for Advent. Anna Lise looks gorgeous, and I miss seeing her on the vlogs. So it's a treat to see her here.

A charming tradition. Philip is teaching those lovely children. Thank you everyone for sharing this happy moment. I love the poems.
This was so incredibly sweet. The children's excitement is contagious.
Oh my goodness... Phillip that was so adorable of you and the poems were the icing on the cake! Perfection. 😍
My father in law was Dutch and my mother in law always did St Nicolas to give the presents for the children and adults. It brings back such wonderful memories

What a lovely thing Philip did for these children. They will always have this memory of a delightful evening at your Château.
Phillip, you are so thoughtful. What a wonderful time the children had. Children are the greatest joy of life ! Merry sinterklass! Your mother made the night!
Today's video was just lovely!!! Just what I needed. Watching the joy in these kids face made my day
So lovely to see the children taking centre stage.. and how well behaved they all were during the Sinterklass experience. All at an age when they can truley get lost in the magic.
All future chateaux owners!
They were all very well behaved!
These children are living a magical childhood because their chateau parents & friends dared to dream
Lovely seeing the kids together. Annalise looks so lovely. I have missed seeing her on the Vlogs. They had a smashing time. Way to go Philip !!!
That was absolutely adorable. Well done Phillip for helping to keep the magic alive for the children and sharing your own traditions.
Well done Sinter Claus (aka Phillip and his mom) It just warms your heart to see the joy in those boys faces. Thank you for a little more information on a Dutch Holiday tradition!
biggest little boy there was Amaury. He is going to be a great Dad someday.
HOW EXCITING for the children!! Phillip I love this tradition! I LOVE these ADVENT posts!! I give advent calendars to my daughter, her husband and now granddaughter! its so much fun! Stephanie, really and truly loved these posts!!
It just always makes my heart ❤️ smile to see the joy and innocence of children 💕.
Well done!
Philip: this is such a wonderful tradition! Thank you so much for making this evening happen! So special!

Love this! Thanks Philip and his mom for bringing the children and others such joy! 🥰
I know it’s a ton of work for you guys but I am absolutely LOVING my daily dose of LaLande!
That was so sweet. Thank you Mummy Sinterklaas in the Netherlands. The surprise and happiness on the childrens' faces was lovely.
One of my favorite episodes!! Jack's drop jaw moment at 6:43 totally encapsulates the whole episode perfectly!!
Magical! Well done, thank you Philip, Jared and Philip's mother and Amaury for creating this and Stephanie for filming. Made my day. How great to keep the tradition alive and bring these kids together.
How sweet and thoughtful of Phillip and his Mom❤ To share all their holiday love with all of you, is heartwarming ❤️⭐️🎄
What a magical evening Philip and Mrs Janssen created for the children....and adults. This was beautiful to watch.
I can’t be the only one who thinks Natti would be an Excellent mother!!❤️❤️❤️😊
The two of them would be wonderful parents, but not all couples with passion for creative work dream of children, and that's ok too. 😊
I agree totally and did you see the look on Amaury's face he would make an excellent father. If they choose to have children together I think they would both be amazing parents.
My sisters made great aunts but neither would have been great mothers. Not everyone has to have kids.
It's absolutely none of our business who we see fit as parents or not.
Totally presumptuous and not modern.
@@tiffytattoo2450 I totally agree. 💯
How sweet this was for the kiddos! Philip is such a sweet man! Good guys get such a bad "rap" with the saying, "Good guys finish last." I believe good guys are the BEST!

Aw thats so lovely the excitement on the little ones face's just lovely xxx
That is so very sweet!! I cried listening to the individual poems that Philip wrote to the little children! Absolutely lovely!!
Oh my gosh, Philip and his mom and SinterKlaus outdid himself again!!! How sweet! So nice to see Annalise and her boys especially with Marc and Amy and their children.
Love and hugs from Mary in Southern California 💗🤗
Lovely to see Annalise and Amy and all the kiddos!! ❤ So sweet!!
Absolutely precious!!! What an absolute gem Philip is!!!! He must be just like his mother. They both have beautiful, kind, big hearts ❤️❤️❤️
Well done, Philip for organizing this. What a fabulous evening you created for these children. And a special thanks to your wonderful mother.
Seeing Phillip running around telling the kids about Sinterklaas and seeing his smile as the story was read out. He's just reached new levels of sweetness.

Creating magic for kids is obviously not just for kids and i love that we all play along this game with children! Good work Phillip! Love the poetry!
That was the most precious thing ever!❤️💙💖💜Philip you are so good with children. You brought joy to their hearts!
Gosh, this is totally my favourite Advent vlog! Loved seeing these sweet children excitedly enjoying Phillip’s lovely celebration. Thanks to Phillips mama for the letters. Love love love LaLande at🎄
Christmas magic is invisible. You don’t see it. You hear it. You taste it. You feel it in your heart.
So lovely to see all the children, and Amy and Marc from Chateau Rosieres.
Just seeing the joy on the childrens’ faces and hearing their delight is so heartwarming. Transforming a room in the chateau into a magical place for children made me smile. Thank you to Phillip, his mom and to everyone who made this video extra special.

How incredibly sweet of Philip and his mum. So lovely to be able to have fun with the kids (and then send them home with their parents)!
That was so adorable Phillip and wonderful of your mother to arrange such a treat for the children Phillip. You did a fantastic job it was lovely to here the children laughing

Oh gosh, children with tiny British accents! The absolute cutest!
I want you to know that the costs for the unexpected repairs will never outweigh the joy that you bring to this world. A world that needs that sense of peace, love, and joy so much.
I don't know who was cuter! The children or Philip lol adorable!
Phillip always knows when and how to use his Magic ! Hopeing that there is a little Christmas miracle or magic for Phillip this Christmas. He so deserves it ! ❤🏰
Didn't know about the origins of the title "Santa Clause" derived from Sinter Klass. What fun! Especially the whiskey for the adults 😉
Philip is really such a wonderful man; a perfect match for Stephanie and her joyous nature. I just love Amaury reaction to receiving gifts- like a happy young boy. I noticed his reaction last year at Christmas time.
Loved loved loved this vlog. Philip is amazing and just a really really lovely man.Stephanie and Philip, you are truly a match made in heaven.💛💛💛
That was delightful. Their little faces and so lovely to see the next generation making friends.
All the little boys together were adorable! How fun to see some little kids at LaLande for Christmas time.
Ooooo wat leuk zeg! Super georganiseerd Phillip 👏🏼🇳🇱
Kids zaten met open mond 😮 echt heel leuk
I have been watching you for years but I don't normally comment, however this was Brilliant!!!! Well done Philip!!🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
This is darling. I just got back from the Netherlands. What a delightful country. Sinterklass left us chocolates in our shoes. ❤️🎄
Having children around is so exciting. Terrific job Philip! Enjoyed learning about the tradition as I have a large Dutch heritage (going back to the 1600's)
Just adorable ❤ lovely to see everyone, Jacks little face when Annalise read his letter 🥰 Great letters Philip ❤
Phillip has a wonderful heart! ❤ His spirit of generosity of his time, talents, and love is truly a blessing to see. I absolutely adore the Christmas series!
My face hurts from smiling! I was smiling just as much about Philip as I was the kids!
The kids are so adorable. Great work Philip and mom.
Phillip is just lovely!
Philip your cards were absolutely extraordinary! What a fun time to watch the kids. They all seem to get along really well. That’s really a cool tradition was wonderful to see. I think Philip had as much fun as the kids did. Thank you for taking us along.🤟🏻💜🎄🎅🇺🇸
We had Krampus Nact along with Sinta Klaus’ visit. We were gifted with a chocolate letter, a book, and salted liquorice. Lovely traditions!
Jack's expressions says it all... adorable ❤
It was lovely seeing Amy and Marc from Chateau de Roseries visiting you. Clement looked very happy tucking into the sweet goodies and making new friends! Everyone looked very cosy next to the fire quite idyllic x
A magical episode. Phillip is the Christmas Master 💝🥰🤶🏻🎅🏻🎄
Merry Advent ❤️
That was so precious! When you don't have children, such a wonderful idea to borrow some
How sweet (in every way) and how kind of Philip to go to so much trouble to share his heritage. What a lovely, lovely man.
No matter how many or how fabulous the decorations, the joy and magic of Christmas is all about the excitement of children. That was excellent Philip...
Beautiful Seeing All The Children Having Fun With Philip, What a Lovely Dutch Tradition, Xx 🎄🎅🎄🎅How Lovely Of His Mother. Xx🎄🎁🎅
That was so cute, made me cry happy tears. It was so sweet of your mother Phillip to send you the true Dutch tradition gifts for you to follow through, bless her. I love Christmas it brings everyone together ❤ Joyeuses Fêtes à tous 🎄

We would all be too much in a hurry to gather as many of them as we could to ever get a glimpse of Sinter Klaas and his horse. Sooo exciting!
Philip's mom needs to visit! Loved this. Still not understanding why no advent is being opened though. Not least the lalande doll house.
His parents have visited but did not want to be on camera.
I think they opened the doll house advent within the family and a few friends only, as the rest of the events and cooking vlogs had be planned out long ago.
Philip is priceless, how lovely to see everyone so happy. Bravo All 🎅🏻🧑🏻🎄🤶🏼
This was so heart warmingly adorable 😍. Phillip you and your mom made it so special for the children but also the adults. The children's eyes wide open were so precious.
Such fun, and what a beautiful heart Philip has! The adults looked as delighted as the children.
Children’s excitement at Xmas is truly magical 🎅🏻🎄
😁 Adorable, and new best friends! 😁♥️♥️♥️
I grew up in Wisconsin where there is a large German population and the tradition of St. Nick's Day is still celebrated there.
