Happy Birthday dear Marie🎉 hope you have a wonderful day.
Happy birthday Marie! You should embrace making the day special because not everyone made it through the last year, so we must always mark the day and be grateful that we did. You earned it. Many happy returns of the day.

its perfectly *valid* for someone to not want to celebrate their birthday if they don't feel like it. even if she made it through another year doesn't mean that you gotta be happy all the time and everything's all rainbows and butterflies, maybe she has some worries about getting older (or whatever the reason). this is such toxic positivity (yes, there's such a thing! can you believe it?!?!?!?!?!?)

Happy Birthday sweet Marie. My heart went out to you when it was mentioned that you wanted no fuss on your birthday. I understand where that comes from. Wishing for you a happy, successful and healthy upcoming year. You are such a kind and generous person. Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday Marie!!! ❤❤❤
What a Beautiful village to live in ! Full of tradition, kind welcoming people and nature. My bucket list is getting bigger and classier by the day.
I wish I had these many friends making such an effort for making me feel special on my birthday..! I understand the mixed feelings for birthdays as well. Happy birthday Marie! May you have many more years surrounded by people that wish you the best!!
you should cut the rice cake into rectangular slices and then pan fry them so they're slightly crunchy on the outside and soft an chewy on the inside. That is how my mom always served it. I find them better when they're warm so it's less gummy.
Annalise is incredibly beautiful and kind. Happy birthday to Marie, so down to earth, skilled in the kitchen and making lovely flowers - which were missing from today. No one bought flowers for Marie.
Marie knows everyone loves her
Happy Birthday Marie! May you have the most amazing birthday MONTH! Yes, that's right, don't forget you get to celebrate the whole month!
Maybe you could use Stephanie's cake to cement the stone above the window back into place? 😉
Nikki's suit coat and hat were so adorable. She wore it very well indeed. Happy birthday Marie. Everyone is rushing around for you. You are being honored for the day. A vintage tractor ride through the country side was surprising. Birthday cakes were unique!

I was thinking Marie was a July-baby because she's such a homebody and loves to cook and care for people. Still, I bet some of her planets are in Cancer ...she's such a natural caretaker ...she needs to be taken out for holidays more often and made to have fun. Stephanie should have just said "Right! Marie you're coming with us today to have some fun at the local village fair!" But perhaps she had to cook for guests. Well then ...She needs a helper!
Happy birthday Marie!!! Celebrating one's birthday in a French chateau seems idyllic ❤
Happy Happy Birthday to the Gorgeous Marie.💐👏👏💃

Happy Birthday, Marie! That’s my middle name! Twinsies!😊
Their outfits and the tractor made it such a wonderful outing!
Marie, I am so glad you were born. The world is such a lovely place with you in it. It looks like there was fun and laughter on your day. May your next rotation around the sun bring you all the love, joy and good things you wish for.
Annalise is gorgeous today! What a multi talented lady.

She truly does seem to carry an aura of joy around her, in spite of circumstances ... a lovely lady & fun mom for the boys!
The Courtyard looks picturesque. The reluctance birthday girl. We are all so different Interesting antiques and curiosities at the local shop. So tempting.
Hahaha, Phillip’s face was exactly my reaction when I saw the rice cakes. 😉 Happy Birthday Marie! 💕
Happy birthday Marie 🎉🎂🎈 And perhaps the leftover rice flour cake could be used as a frisbee for Lancelot 🤭
Happy Birthday Marie W!
Happy birthday, Marie! Have a great day and a year full of health and joy!!
Dear Marie, you are the sweetest, most talented, lovely person. Know that you are special everyday and loved all over the world! Enjoy💐🌷🌹🌻
Happy Birthday Marie!! I love how everyone made you feel special today! Away from your family on your birthday, but with the next best thing! Cheers!
The two wee boys are beautiful if you can call a boy that, look like their gorgeous mother.

Annalise kids are so handsome!
Annalise should sell baked goods/desserts to Stephanie for b&b weekends! A has a chefs kitchen (which Dan designed) and her place was an old bakery when they purchased it I think❣️
Happy Birthday Marie, you are so talented, fun and smart 🎉🎉🎉🎉
So nice to see Nikki. I’ve followed her for years. What a nice surprise.
Happy Birthday, Marie! 🩷💐🌹🎂🍧🍾🍾
Happy Birthday Marie! Annalise came through with a cake! Stephanie-I loved your guest in period clothing! It looks like they time travelled to LaLande! 😊
Turn those stale pain au chocolats into bread pudding instead of chucking them out! It can actually be a wonderful sweet breakfast treat, or a rich dessert.

I am not sure why, maybe the vintage costumes, and tractors, or maybe the French music, but I like this edition of The Chateau Diaries better then any for a long time. :)
Happiest of birthdays Marie!!! I think the mayor of the village is becoming a regular on your channel. Please don't be upset Stephanie; you could always use your cake for the mortar to hold up the fallen stone from the window. Love you guy's!! ❤
in fairness to the rice cake Stephanie created she just showed how much she loved Marie Happy birthday Marie🎉🎂❤️
So exciting seeing the village come to life!
Great to see Nati as well and Annalise. Everyone at the shopping area. Loved the outfits. Stephanie this video was awesome!!!
Happy Birthday Marie🌺🌸🌻🌷
Happy birthday, Marie. May you continue to be blessed everyday. Lancelot, you have to have manners if you wish to court. LOL. That was a lovely outing. The mayor is a lovely man.
I wasn’t listening so idk their names but boy that is that one well dressed couple! Love their style! The sunnies are stunning. The guys sweater is so cool. Her hat is so funky. Never seen a hat shaped like that. So cool

Happy birthday Marie! The countryside on your tractor ride was stunning and it was so heartwarming to hear the mayor talk about the village coming to life.
That birthday cake was the most minimal thing ever to grace the Chateau!!
Happy birthday Marie
You're so enthusiastic to try new recipes Stephanie. 😅 I love how you cherish your Laland family. ❤
Happy birthday, lovely Marie! ❤ 🎂
Happy Birthday Marie..enjoy and embrace every birthday..especially nice when surrounded by so many who love you..loved the tractor ride through the country side..it is so beautiful!
Many uses for the cake…Use to patch the holes in the roof. Great for resole of shoes. I loved the countryside videos
Happy Birthday Marie!
Happy Birthday Marie. I hope your day was sparked with joy. A hint with the sticky cake. In Japan it would be in small cube and dusted with rice flour. A bit like Turkish Delight. To be taken with a cup of green tea. Then the sweetness would be accented.
Happy Birthday Marie, its my Birthday too, but I am a lot older than you. Do not throw away yesterdays croissants 4 mins in the air fryer revives them brilliantly.

This episode has been so much fun! What a lovely day in an adorable town. ❤
Those cakes looked very interesting. 😊😊😊. Your guests looked very glamorous 40a.
I have no words for your dessert Stephanie, none at all. Happy Birthday Marie!
What a marvelous day! I confess to taking my birthday wishes about as well as Marie, despite how much we appreciate them. Happy Birthday Marie! As a westerner, all things mochi and glutenous rice flour have a texture I'm just not accustomed to eating. I commend everyone on their bravery, especially Jack!
Je peux pas avec les vêtements vintage. That was directly translated from Southern California English. So hope it came off as intended. I’m always inspired with my own growing vintage clothing collection. Such a wonderful community.
Happy Birthday Marie!🎂
Happy Birthday Marie! You are such a dear-heart! Steph: Yesterday "Mystik Dan" was the horse that won the 150th Kentucky Derby! I had a good chuckle when they announced it! Mystik Dan! Lol! It was like Dan-the-Gardener had been granted a special grace..... without actually putting a door on his W.C....... Lol!
Happy Birthday to Marie and many more! I am so happy you're with us!
Happy birthday to Marie!!! You are a stunning lady in everything you do from your beautiful cooking, flower arrangements and just being you.🎂🍹🥂🍾
Happy birthday lovely Marie❤
Hi Stephanie, Marie has totally blossomed!!! She seems so MUCH happier this second stay at La Lande- and boy what a talented chef and florist she is!!! La Lande is lucky to have her there!! Elizabeth Goodrich, Texas
Happy Birthday Marie, you sweet girl!!! 🥳🎂😁🤗🥰
Happy Birthday Maire!!🥳🎉 Oh my goodness, the village by Lalande is like a step back in time. It reminds me so much of the rural agricultural area I grew up in here in the Southern U.S. Except we didn't have a cute little village, lol! All we had was an intersection with two country stores. And those vintage tractors were amazing, those two little ones were adorable, especially the pink one! It was so sweet of Analise to back that pretty birthday cake for Marie. Analise is so beautiful, inside and out. And I was drooling over some of those amazing items in the Brocante, especially the Baccarat chrysanthemum crystal set. My husband works at an Antique and Estate sale Auction company. They just had a huge vintage and antique car auction this weekend. He has been in the Antique auction business for many years. Both my husband and I have been collectors and lovers of antiques and vintage items for over 25 years. We used to own an antique business, but I retired early to raise our three children. Now I just want to raise organic heirloom vegetables and heritage breed farm animals.

Happy Birthday Marie. How sweet of Annalise to make a pretty backer. And a lovely thought by you Stephanie for making your ❤🎂
What a fun blast from the past was that vintage tractor ride through the French countryside. Then another year for Marie with another candle on the cake. Nothing that she can't handle with just a casual shrug as she expertly prepares one of her sought after dinners. Happy Birthday, kid.
Happy Birthday Marie❣🎂🎈we love you❤🎉
What a fun Birthdy party for Marie~ She started out really feeling down and forgotten, or maybe feeling of not wanted around and she needed to be there working, as she knew how much everyone has depended on her now. She is really doing great with being a wonerful Chef, and also with flower decorating and knowing the names and about them so very well, and just so much, more . She has so much talent! In the end, she loved every minute of the chewy cake, and the other Analise made. Both cakes were good am sure, just in their own ways! ( The little ones are so sweet and behave so nicely) Loved the country shopping at the village ( similar to where I live, as it is a country area and small towns) but this was such a fun place and enjoyed it so much, had to call my husband to watch! The ride behind the tractor and the firends who joined you ( Loved their style, it was really quite fancy, and it would be a fun fashion to see more people wearing, Hope they are able to visit quite often! The young man helping with books is staying for awhile and wondered if he is h friend marie was talking about that she had made as of late? Maybe everyone is getting to know him more and he them as well? Not sure , just guessing, He seems like a very nice person, blends in well too! Lancelot sure had a grand time as well! He wondered what would happen next. LOL He was glad to be on his dad's lap and being held, during the tractor ride especially! It truly was such a wonderful vlog! Thank You!
Happy birthday Marie. You're a good sport Stephanie.
“Is that mold?!” Marie 😂 I love it cracking me up over. Happy happy birthday Marie 🎉 Everyone today nice humor so many funny bits today, wonderful!! I love the guests attire too, seem like really nice people. Happy Birthday Marie❤🎉
Wow , that darling couple look very snappy in their clothes ! ❤
Happy Birthday, Marie! 🎉
How kind of Annaliese to make that lovely cake.
Thanks for the memory. I drove my Dad's Moline tractor that he had to change up. It was hand cranked and he switched it over to electric start just for me.

Happy birthday Maria! Enjoy everyone because they go fast❤🎉🎈🎂
Happy Birthday, Marie! 🎂In my opinion, just about anything made with glutinous rice tends to be delicious. Love the texture. 🥮
You're such a treasure, Marie, and it's been inspiring to watch you apply your intelligence, creativity and skill to being a chef. We saw those qualities in your floral designs, which, like your cooking, showed both your deep connection to the natural world and the sensory delights you create from it for a very lucky group of people. Congratulations on a wonderful year past, and best of luck in the next year!
Grant is 100% right about most Australian croissants. The odd bakery has first raters but all too few. Thank you for the video! I hope Narie had a lovely birthday
Happy Belated Birthday Marie!! I hope your day was filled with lots of love, laughter and joy! Much love and positive vibes from across the world in the US State of Montana! ✨💖✨
Lancelot falling asleep on Philip's leg but fighting to stay awake to listen to you talk about the rice cakes is the cutest!!!
Happy Birthday Marie! 🌸 This episode was so delightful and hilarious……from Lancelot in love and misbehaving….to the rubber brown ‘cake’. Annelise saved the birthday with her spectacular cake. And never has Happy Birthday been sung so beautifully …..especially for dear Marie. ❤️
