@@fionaokeefe1906 his parents are the elusive nic (co owner of chateau and long time friend since university and the delightful marie ( not the one who does the flowers)). He gets his height from his mum. So part of stephanies family but not related by blood
Yes, he's a handsome lad. His eyes certainly do favor those of his beautiful💐 mother. 📲Too bad, Nick is so elusive in front of the camera. We can only imagine how his father has influenced his appearance🤔.
Such fun seeing all the appropriate and thoughtful gifts. Diesel in a necktie is adorable. Antoine is always very polite in his thanking people. Stephanie, you look fabulous in the dress suit. Selmar is charming and handsome as well as talented in so many ways. You are a happy group of hard working people. I enjoy all your antics and projects from my home in Illinois.
It will come soon, b/c the energy at the chateau is completely divine, so positive. I find myself smiling while watching full of joy. She creates a circle of positive energy and generosity, something we could all learn to do more of.
Selmar as always so elegant now the gorgeous Diesel matches him,so suave in his neck tie. Great to see Antoine back, a gentle well mannered young man a credit to his gorgeous parents Marie & Nick. Love the joint gift as Stephanie& Selmar have such a great rapport & understanding for all the things that are needed to make the chateau great again.❤️
Yaaaay!!! I’m so happy you liked everything and the suit fits!! I love it so so much but like I said I just can’t fit in it anymore 🙈 and you look so stunning in it! I‘m so relieved everything arrived and you liked everything! So so so happy ❤️
Oh Victoria this suit is absolutely beautiful and your taste is amazing. Stephanie looks stunning in it and those earrings!!!!... would wear them as well. 😍 You are so lovely to gift it to her. :)
⚘Very nice of you to send📦 it to him👍. The legos are now in good hands👐. Once he has assembled all these marvelous creations, perhaps Antoine could be encouraged to do a show & tell for us!
so glad Antoine is back....HE Is such a lovely kid! How is it possible that the suit could fit you as though made for you!!?...clearly we have all been watching you for too long Stephanie!!!...you do look amazing in that suit!! love to the Maries, Emily, the Ians, wonderful Tomaz, Selmar & Diesel, Natalia, Dan & Mummy, Gerald, the Michaels, Nic & anyone else present or not present!!! thank you for still being there & hope you enjoy some time off soon StephaniexoxoxoCanada♥♥♥
What a true gentleman Antoine is, an absolute credit to Nick and Marie's caring and nurturing parenting. He is always so appreciative of his gifts with no trace of expectation or entitlement, just like all of you in the Chateau. He is surrounded by many wonderful role models and mentors. I know I've said it before but Lalande really is a beautiful community of genuine, kind and considerate people and the vlogs have clearly attracted viewers with the same great attributes. Love and best wishes to you all at Lalande and to the viewers around the world 💚💛
🐦Yes, there is some truth to "birds of a feather flock together." Antoine can't help but be positively influenced by all the high quality individuals that are drawn to 💛Stephanie💛 & the amazing atmosphere @ 🏰 Chateau LaLande (inclu. his dear parents💕).
Enjoyed so very much. So enjoyed Antoine opening his gifts, As a Father of two sons I so miss their younger years and gifting them. Every gift was beautiful for you all. Love to all ❤
Yes, I believe it will be Stephanie’s birthday tomorrow? Am I right? She mentioned something about 18/8 in a previous blog. Happy Birthday, Stephanie. Wishing you All the Happiness you deserve! Thank you for being a beautiful Light in this world .... The flowered suit looks so good you. What a beautiful gift. This was such a fun Vlog. And, I love the shirt Selmar is wearing, too. Wear it often, Selmar! I enjoy watching your choice of clothes when you dress up. So good to see you all gathered together as one big happy Family. It is wonderful to have Antoine back and to see the lovely Marie, too. Welcome back!
OMG, once again I’m just in awe of all the lovely gifts, I’m watching it again as I’m afraid I might have missed something.......Antoine is such a charming young man and so genuine, much like his Mom.......the fun of this gift receiving never looses its charm as everyone is just so thrilled and always so grateful.........lovely to see you all so spoiled especially Antoine..........take care and I will as always look forward to the next vlog....xoxox Donna in Toronto
🏰Yes! The Lalanders are remarkably artistic & generous too. 🖼 That is an incredible likeness of him👏. Diesel looks even more handsome in his new👔neckties & the blue bow🎀. Funny how those 🍖treats finally tempted him out his nap too💤. 🍥Even Selmar got a bit spoiled w/all his Dutch & Belgium treats🍺.
Yet again you have made me feel like it is Christmas day and I get the joy of watching others open their gifts. I am not the one giving or receiving and yet I am like Stephanie and always love seeing someone else opening a present. Antoine is such a lovely young man and it is great practice for his English when he thanks people for their gifts. I laughed when he was so excited to get the 3D viewer. It is still fun to look at the slides no matter how far advanced technology is today. Much love to you all and thank you for the fun.
LOVED the hedgehog on the cheese platter AND on Antoine's T Shirt. lol Sooo great the adults let the kid...and the dog open up their gifts first. I have been waiting for this "feel good / Fun" Video all day. :-)
Antoine’s expression when he saw the mini drone! Priceless! He is such a wonderful, unspoilt child who is clearly going to be an empathic caring man. Well done Marie and Nick. Plus he is gorgeous looking with a lovely tan. He reminds me so much of my grandsons at that age. Sigh! Like him, they were SO sweet!
Hello Stephanie, Isabel, Marie, The Elusive Nick, Marie, Antoine, Selmar, Tomaz, Emily, Nati, Diesel, Miss you Gerry & Percy🤗 & all at LaLande So happy to see you today & how kind & grateful you are for the kindness & generosity of gifts you receive. You've all earned them for sharing your lives & the joy & happiness you spread to the world! Thank you all 💓💓🤗🤗👏👏👏👏🇬🇧
I love how you share all the goodies sent to you and your extended family. Thank you for the fun opening video. I look forward to watching these every week, as well as your regular uploads. Much love to all. Have a lovely week!
Been away for a few days and catching up on my Lalande vlogs. Have missed them so much! Really thrilled how much you loved my knitted Diesel. Selmar you are so gracious! X
🍀Yes! The vintage Viewmaster was first introduced around 1940, but Mattel came out w/a toy version in 1968. They tailored the classic disc reel to suit kids. This item was basically, a play on earlier devices created in Victorian times for photographic images. 🎬Some create mini-movies. Antoine seems a good sport -- hope he enjoys the nostalgic factor! 🛰He whipped that drone into shape in a matter of moments. All his Lego building has given him mad skills in putting things together. 🎊Seems like those puzzles & games are right up his alley🎳.
@@teresacarle294 I was born in 82 I never had the luck to own one. I seen one in a shop one day and the man let me try. I fell in love with it. Begged my mam for it every birthday and Christmas for years but to no avail. It broke my heart a little seeing it again after all theses years. Never had much as a kid so never expected much either but this was always and still is to this day something I still really want. They really made amazing toys back then.
@@carolinobrien6662, perhaps if you look on eBay you will be able to find one. 🙂I hope so!😊 I imagine it would be so sweet if one of those dreamed-of, long-hoped-for toys could find a welcoming home with you & help mend the dear yearning of your inner-child's heart. Wishing you many blessings, & may all sorts of your dreams come true! 🦋🌿🌻🌿🥳💙🥳🌿🌻🌿🦋
It's wonderful to see you opening the gifts and being surrounded by the love we have for you all💗. I am especially excited when I see Antoine and Diesel enjoying their cadeaux, both wholeheartedly, although Diesel takes more time to ponder each item philosophically! Thank you for the great joy you all bring to us, your friends around the world! 🙏🏻💗⚜️💜⚜️💗🙏🏻
super fan here in Portland Oregon USA! Thank you all so much for being a kind, fun, generous and creative "found family" and sharing your Chateau life with us. (Cadeaux at the Chateau is like the best vicarious Christmas (and I celebrate Chanukkah!)so thanks for showing the gift opening. Stephanie, you are such a warm and open hearted person(clearly you take after your gregarious mum and your creative Dad), you make this bizarre time more fun for all of us Lalandians! Never would have found you but for my obsession with DIck and Angel's work on their Chateau so hats off to those two crazily creative sparkles. Here's wishing all of you health and happiness, not and into the bright future!
🥔It's considerably more elegant to enjoy your classic crisps in a worthy container🍚. 🥂Even stemware can elevate a refreshing cucumber infused water or iced tea. 💕Absolutely cherish the notion of pulling out your finest China to make more everyday events seem a special occasion.

What an incredible community are LaLanders! It is so kind that LaLanders want to send you gifts because you bring such joy to so many around the world. I feel very fortunate to be part of this wonderful community.
Diesel is so cute, with or without ties! So happy to see everyone, just know you all make everyone so happy and put a smile on my heart. I told my Aunt, Mother runs ring around me, I try to be as active as her. God bless you all to have a good week.
Spreading love and kindness, what a breath of fresh air you all are. So love your sharing, gratefulness and enthusiasm for everything. Such a joy to watch. Thank you for your continued commitment to sharing your life at Lalande.
Antoine..you have some real collectors items : ) the Viewmasters..I remember them even as a kid too.They were originally first marketed in 1939..Cool :)
Antoine, I had one of those film things when I was you age. No tv no computers! Zand on films. It was fantastic looking at the films. I hope you have as much joy as I had. Bless you xxx
All presents were so thoughtful, creative and lovely. I'm amazed by how kindhearted so many people are. ❤️ And yes Stephanie please make a party where you wear the suit. It looks as if it was made for you. 😍😍
So many Canadians love these vlogs. It is entirely appropriate that Antoine received Canada-opoly! I hope you all get to play and it inspires you to visit Canada one day. Antoine is such a lovely young man, so polite and seeing his joy opening presents does my heart good. Also the part of Canada where I live has a lot of Dutch families so I recognized a lot of the foods Selmar received. All very yummy!
Wow, Antoine made out like a bandit here! I am very much looking forward to seeing his drone efforts. I am sure Michael will be able to give him some excellent coaching. Diesel rocks in his new tie and I don’t know about anyone else , but I think Stephanie and Selmar should have more joint gifts! 🙂
I absolutely covet Antoine's vintage Bakelite Viewfinder...I had one for Christmas 1965, and never knew what happened to it. I had the tale of 'Hansel & Gretel' on one of my disks. The stereo viewer gives a wonder 3 - dimensional image. Lucky Antoine!
thankyou everyone for sending those gifts to lalande and for steffanie sharing the opening of those kind gifts, So good that antoine is back his little face lights up the screen
Stephanie, since you usually have more than one tree at Christmas 🎄 you should use one just for the ornaments that your viewers send. Lol. I'm sure over time, you will have to have one big tree for them lol.
So glad to see the baseball cap with Fenway Park on it !!!! Fenway Park is the oldest baseball stadium in Major League Baseball !!!! When my father was young,he and his best friend often got lost on the way to school.In the Spring they would end up at Fenway Park to watch the Boston Red Sox.Dad always managed to find his way home,even if on those days he found himself in Boston instead of school !!!! Love from Vermont
Present day is always a good day. Every time I go away to work I buy things to be sent to my home so that when I go home it’s a present extravaganza....
Stephanie, You look amaizing in that trousers suit, it really SUITS you!!!! It's so LOVELY to see you all Landlanders working together & Enjoying life to the FULL (from so different nationalities in such a difficult times of crisis & division in the planet) YOU SHOW SUCH A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF UNITY, UNDERSTANDING & LOVE FOR ALL TO SEE & FOLLOW💗 VERY INSPIRATIONAL!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU 💕💕💕✨✨✨✨🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏
Antoine is the loveliest boy - such a credit to his parents.
Antoine is absolutely delightful and genuinely grateful. As we have all said before, what a lovely young man.
@@annad3987 Yes, he is tall for his age, he is only just 11. Wait and see!! Tee hee hee!!! 🤣😂🤣😂
Jill Scott who are his parents? And yes he’s quite tall, almost as tall as Stephanie! Very handsome indeed!
@@fionaokeefe1906 his parents are the elusive nic (co owner of chateau and long time friend since university and the delightful marie ( not the one who does the flowers)). He gets his height from his mum. So part of stephanies family but not related by blood
Antoine has the most gorgeous eyes! Just like his mothers!
True, the first time I've really seen them up close. He looks so like his mum.
Yes, he's a handsome lad. His eyes certainly do favor those of his beautiful💐 mother. 📲Too bad, Nick is so elusive in front of the camera. We can only imagine how his father has influenced his appearance🤔.
@@teresacarle294 - I think Nic is Antoines step father not his birth father.
Such fun seeing all the appropriate and thoughtful gifts. Diesel in a necktie is adorable. Antoine is always very polite in his thanking people. Stephanie, you look fabulous in the dress suit. Selmar is charming and handsome as well as talented in so many ways. You are a happy group of hard working people. I enjoy all your antics and projects from my home in Illinois.

Stephanie you are so good with Antoine. There is so much love and respect in the Chateau. X
I really hope one day soon Stephanie gets to unbox her TH-cam award for hitting 100,000 subscribers
Me too!!! It'll happen.
It will come soon, b/c the energy at the chateau is completely divine, so positive. I find myself smiling while watching full of joy. She creates a circle of positive energy and generosity, something we could all learn to do more of.
We will get her that award. Thoroughly deserved 😁💛
I wonder when will it happen? October??
Mee too She should be follow because I like her vlog more than MP who is her friend😏

Stephanie looked stunning in the suit, perfect fit 👌
It's beautiful Vik Vik.
She looks so good in that suit. It actually reminded me of her tapestery coat she made and wore in her venice vlogs
Oh Victoria this suit is absolutely beautiful and your taste is amazing. Stephanie looks stunning in it and those earrings!!!!... would wear them as well. 😍 You are so lovely to gift it to her. :)
The suit and those trousers are amazing 🤩 So kind of you to send them to Stephanie 😃 She looks good in the suit 😍

Yes, the LEGO was from me! :)
⚘Very nice of you to send📦 it to him👍. The legos are now in good hands👐. Once he has assembled all these marvelous creations, perhaps Antoine could be encouraged to do a show & tell for us!
Cadeaux at the chateau brings me so much joy! I absolutely love starting my week off watching the chateau diaries... and throughout the week hehe
It restores my faith in humanity- there ARE kind and generous people out there in our crazy world!!!

I love Antoine's hedgehog T-shirt. ♡
Hi everyone! Good to see Antoine and Selmar are back!
Deisal is like "you woke me up from my nap for this?" LOL

Bless him Diesel! He's so adorable!!
Love the pant suit! It looks so great on you Stephanie.
Love Selmars laugh it's just wonderful

Can’t wait to see Stephanie style up the suit- looks amazing xxx
Hello team Lalande. Nice to see Antoine opening the gifts 🎁 again.
Loved Antoine's Fenway Park hat, living close to Boston. Also loved the super cool mask. So glad Antoine is back with the Family.
These videos are so much needed in my life. They let me forget whats going on and live a little bit through the residents of the chateau
Antoine's shirt should be on Lalande's merch ☺️
The chips (crisps) in the pot is cracking me up! LOL
Happy Birthday Stephanie , God Bless you to have many more!!!
Antoine such a little sweetheart...nice too see Selmar back :)... love from Ottawa, Canada xxx
Happy Birthday Stephanie 💐🎂🍾
Such lovely gifts for Antione, so much lovely food and diesels ties! The suit looks exquisite on you Stephanie, perfect figure for it. ❤️

Love Diesel and return of Antoine. I was hoping my gift would have arrived but will look forward to next week for all the ladies of Lelande
Great thoughtful gifts from everyone. Very special and all so well received.
Aww a different setting wonderful vlog aww Antoine looks excited bless him lovely boy

What an incredible community are LaLanders! It is so kind that LaLanders want to send you gifts because you bring such joy to so many around the world. I feel very fortunate to be part of this wonderful community.
Diesel is so cute, with or without ties! So happy to see everyone, just know you all make everyone so happy and put a smile on my heart.
I told my Aunt, Mother runs ring around me, I try to be as active as her. God bless you all to have a good week.

Watching these videos with everyone chatting and laughing,just draws you right in. It’s a welcome break.Thanks for sharing with us!
So much fun. It’s like watching Christmas every week - thank you!!
I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THAT SUIT!!! And yes, I had to shout that, because it's so cute! I'd wear that suit all the time!
Diesel is another character of the Chateau ☺ Lovely!!
Antoine..you have some real collectors items : ) the Viewmasters..I remember them even as a kid too.They were originally first marketed in 1939..Cool :)
Thank you for the video. That was an epic unboxing ceremony!
Antoine, I had one of those film things when I was you age. No tv no computers! Zand on films. It was fantastic looking at the films. I hope you have as much joy as I had. Bless you xxx
Evening all,I love the beer glass letter!Such fun!
Antonio is a darling lad.
New camera? Everyone looks so lovely! Welcome back, Antoine! ❤️❤️
Great job on the video Tomas!
All presents were so thoughtful, creative and lovely. I'm amazed by how kindhearted so many people are. ❤️ And yes Stephanie please make a party where you wear the suit. It looks as if it was made for you. 😍😍
Diesel can hang on the Christmas tree too.
It was so lovely to watch but Diesel’s face was so funny x
I am so grateful to find another video from you! Yay! Your vlogs never fail to wash my blues away! Thank you! 🙏💗
Oh Selmar you had me rolling!!!
So many Canadians love these vlogs. It is entirely appropriate that Antoine received Canada-opoly! I hope you all get to play and it inspires you to visit Canada one day. Antoine is such a lovely young man, so polite and seeing his joy opening presents does my heart good. Also the part of Canada where I live has a lot of Dutch families so I recognized a lot of the foods Selmar received. All very yummy!
Lalonde has become a repository for treasures from around the world.
Wow, Antoine made out like a bandit here! I am very much looking forward to seeing his drone efforts. I am sure Michael will be able to give him some excellent coaching. Diesel rocks in his new tie and I don’t know about anyone else , but I think Stephanie and Selmar should have more joint gifts! 🙂
Did anyone else notice that Mummy and Stephanie are color coordinated with their blue dresses? lolol
So glad to see Antoine back at the Chateau! He is so shy and sweet!🥀🥀

omg!! BEST idea!! one can be all theme-y and one can be just from everyone all over the planet! what fun!!
So glad to see the baseball cap with Fenway Park on it !!!! Fenway Park is the oldest baseball stadium in Major League Baseball !!!! When my father was young,he and his best friend often got lost on the way to school.In the Spring they would end up at Fenway Park to watch the Boston Red Sox.Dad always managed to find his way home,even if on those days he found himself in Boston instead of school !!!! Love from Vermont
Thank you all Gift Givers!!!🙏💝👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I gotta practice Selmars' laugh!
Diesel looks fabulous in his tie. Too cute. He looks like a bigger version of my two Shih Tzus. Sweet puppy.
Selmar said he is a tibetan terrier/lhasa apso mix. But you are right he does look like a large shitzu.
Love how excited Antoine is😂
Antoine is back! Yey! Antoine, love your Humphrey the hedgehog t-shirt :D
