💓I do love Selmar’s laugh on those days when there is not much to smile about he brightens the room & just makes one smile alongside yourself Stephane & all La Landers💓

Stéphanie, I have to say something...I love everything about La Lande, the people, the château, the garden, but what really blows me away is.... your father’s paintings. The sheer size, the whimsy, the wealth of details, and the absolute out of the box creativity. What an artist. If I may make a suggestion, why not do a video about your father’s paintings to give us the opportunity to observe and appreciate them, and for you to give us a few insights about some of them?

I would love this -- I often stop the video to get a longer look at the paintings. What is the story of your father's life?

So happy to see Marie! (Antoine's mother). She's a beautiful soul inside and out!

Thank you Elizabeth!!! I was Evan Hansen in Brazil, i did that show, so i have the book. Hahahaha... But i loved the kind gift, my birthday is almost here, december 4th. I wold like to give the book to the music library at the winter salon, they need more musical theatre sheet music. Thank you so much. Love, and take Care!!! Kisses everybody, missing Lalande!

Anyone else see Mommy squirreling away some of the gifts “But, I don’t have one!” Missing Mommy’s reactions to the gifts.

I wish she would let Mommy open them.

A wall with all your volunteers would be amazing .. because all of them helped bring lalande back to life :-)

The song is In My Life. A particular favorite I shared with my oldest brother who sadly left us in 2012. I've been thinking of him all day so it was no surprise that you received a gift that would speak to me of him.

How touching. I lost my dearest brother this year. Always know he is with me, and obviously yours is too.

I don’t often laugh out loud at things while watching vlogs, but your story of your mother accidentally setting fire to the Christmas tree and telling the landlord it was a French tradition, made me burst out with laughter. I could just imagine her sitting with you explaining herself and laughing with you.

very distracted by your Father's painting in the background is fantastic I could study it for days , pure genius ❤️

Funny, but I think Stephanie would have preferred not to see the roots in her painting. It was something she said when she got her hair done recently which made me realise how embarrassed she was by them.

John Singer Sargent got a lot of money for his painting of Lady Agnew of Lochnaw. The artist who painted that portrait of Stephanie gifted it to her. I would be very grateful for such a wonderful gift and even invite the artist for a stay.

Anytime spent with Stephenie & friends is always time well spent.

That is so true! I love the light that shines every time I see your vlogs. It warms the heart!

That print of Isabelle captures her so well! Love it!

Joy unwrapped. Every time. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Selmar turned different shades of green when he figured out what the crickets were. I would've looked the same. 😳

Beatles Song 'In My Life' Nati's necklace is perfect on the jumper she is wearing. The portraits are brilliant. The Lalande stamp is superb. The gifts are so thoughtful and kind.

Truly enjoyed this. So many wonderful thoughtful gifts. Hi Marie great to see you. Selmar as always so dapper and nat so beautiful. From SoCal🙋🏻‍♀️

Love your pants Natti - details please! 😍

That painting of mommy in the garden - it was so "spot on". Great job, Ana. Goodness, so many talented artists watching this vlog

So funny, the tree story.😂

I do so enjoy watching you all open the gifts. The looks on your faces as each new item shows its self are amazing. You all are so happy and grateful for everything you get. Hugs kimmy.

Stephany, yes, you should definitely make that dress! 💜

Please, please, daddy I want another treat, i am such a good dog, wonderful companion, just a little one more. !!

@30:10 Selmar putting the treat in his pocket...reminded me so much of Isabelle! 😂 Really loved watching! You all are such a bright light at Lalande! Thank you for sharing...take really good care, stay well, stay safe! Much love from Canada 💖

love to each of you as you are soo Blessed to be together in these times! I'm excited to watch each episode. It helps to get through the lockdown with good company and new adventures!

You can use the clothespins to hold Christmas cards on a cord strung across the hearth.

Stephanie, I think for next year you need to set up the Chateau de La Lande merch shop. Limoge, Brocanrte finds. 😂 Etc. Another income source for La Lande. You know, in your spare time.

Yes, ever so lovely. As always, am in awe of the ☄talent & generosity☄ out there. •The 🎨painting🖌 of Stephanie made her look like an animated 👑Disney Princess. •Great ✏drawing of mummy surrounded by her wonderful garden bounty🌱. •Amazing jewelry. •The ⚜Lalande stamp is stunning! I imagine the supply of colored wax will be put to good use too. •Great kitchen, crafty & garden aprons. A home can never have too many hot pads or trivets. Plus, the latter items often go missing. 🕯What could be better that remote control tree candlelights!? 🍬 Great sweet treats, but however tasty I would abstain from eating crispy (real life) critters. They are far more adventurous! •Fab fine China for Isabel & Marie. Love those patterns & colors. 😎Nick will look great in his new cap! If he wears dark glasses, he can still remain incognito. [Hope the adorable Antoine enjoys his time with his grandparents!🐴] 😔Forgive me for forgetting some of those gifts🎁. May both the givers & receivers be as blessed as the viewers!

Another great one. Thanks for the chuckle with the story about the burning Christmas 🎄. And eating crickets. 🦗

Can’t wait to see present opening at Christmas. You all make it so exciting!

The Secret Life of Bees has always been one of my favorite books!

Just love watching all of your vlogs. Beautiful portrait. 👏👏👏👏

Selmar and the Crickets. Someone should wrap some up for his Christmas stocking hahaha 🤪. Loved his tie

The joy and laughter is lovely!

Thank you. I laughed a lot and am amazed at the generosity of people

Omg! The picture from ever web was absolutely gorgeous! So talented and so pretty. You can really capture the emotions and essence of the picture.

Love the jewelry and explanations of what the metals or stones would stand for when you war them. The candles for the tree will be perfect. I place the twinkling candles in the front windows of my home every night all year long! ( After dark they go on) I love them so much! It is hard finding the lovely candles as you now have for the tree to make it look like years gone by when people truly did place real candles on their tres. They did not have any other way to light up the evergreen but as Stephanie was saying it can be dangerous to do it that way though too So this is much easier and safer. Think you will love them! Such lovely gifts. Stephanie is so wonderful in how you share your gifts with everyone there. Diesel loved his special treat too! Each time he just waits as he wants to open a gift too. He knows just what you are doing and think he just waits for this time every week!? The portrait of Stephnie was stunning with her nice bright smile! Very beautiful. The picture if Isabelle was fabulous (In the garden) The sounds seemed just a bit "Muffled?" Sending love to all..

The jewelry is gorgeous! Lucky you guys❤️

I burst out laughing at the cricket snacks! I would be just as fearful. Such fun!

That was lovely. Just so lovely 🙏

I decorated my Christmas tree many a time with only glass bird baubles. I have arond 100 white ones. Its makes a magical tree.

I always enjoy seeing Marie! She radiates joy!

I am peeing my pants😂 I love that you all are eating those yummy, crunchy crickets.😂 So much fun and entertaining to watch.😂

Oh such great gifts‼️👏🏻👏🏻😁

You all doing your "Mummy voice over" is hysterical!

Selma, that great tie is not the ONLY thing you need to wear to your next dance party.

So sorry. America wi be lockdowned in January. Whats truly crazy, the CDC updated the numbers (the media has been silent about it) and the numbers are so much less than pneumonia, flu, etc.. Why the lockdown? Idk if the numbers were just for us or worldwide.

Oh, the childlike joy of the LaLande gang tonight, especially eating the crickets (Philip, you were so brave to go first:) and the race to unwrap the bubble wrapped LaLande beer mug. Cheers to all of you!

Y’all are braver than me to eat crickets. Also loved the Christmas tree story.

Love the watercolor of Isabel -- so delightful and so Isabel. Also, agree with Geoffroy -- your father's paintings are amazing and I always look and look at them. A Sunday with your father's paintings would be delightful

The bubble wrap race had me laughing. Lol

So good 🎁

Best show on TV.

The ribbon is soooo pretty 💜💜💜

Nati is a true style icon. Chapeau !

The Secret Life of Bees is such a wonderful book, and one of my all time favourites. I know you'll love it. The movie adaptation was very true to the book, and I enjoyed it very much also. You've received some lovely gifts today Lalanders.

Oh no not the crickets 😜 I could not!😂😂😂

That painting of Isabelle is MAGNIFIQUE 🤩👏🏻🥳❤️🦚

Antoine doesn’t get to have his own gift card? Wow!

I have crickets in my basement sometimes that keep me up at night if anyone wants any!!!! --- LOL!!!!!!

Crickets 🦗 we eat them in Mexico it’s a Oaxaca traditional snack, I personally love them, but not all of us eat them. We usually have them with 🌶 Loved the videos! Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽

So much fun, and what beautiful gifts! But may we have a few more close ups of the goodies pretty please?😃🎁💖🌱🦋💖💫🐇

The Secret Life of Bees is a very special book. I read it in a class when I was doing my English degree and, once I'd started, I couldn't put it down. Happy reading! xox

Yay!! Hello Selmar :-)

I’m just watching and you received a gift quoting a beautiful song that I love. It’s from Renee Fleming “In My Life”. Hope you enjoy the song as much as I do. I love watching your weekly Vlogs they are so entertaining.

Always a pleasure to watch! I particularly love the aprons you got! All of them! Very pretty! My favorite is the one with sunflowers!

Gorgeous necklaces

That tie suits perfectly on Selma's black look. Love those earrings sent to Natie.

Such fun! Thanks. Can you put the cute little clothes pins on the Christmas tree?

I am DETERMINED that my package, sent to ward La Lande on 17th of AUGUST will turn up. Either at La Lande OR here at my house in the UK! Beautiful envelope with a lovely little dragon fly on it 💜🤩

Love your videos but can you please have a microphone closer to you all? Tx!

Beautiful

You were all very brave to try the crickets. I'm not sure I could have done it. Ah the joys of peer pressure. Hahahahaha My sons have tried fried meal worms and said they tasted like popcorn but I wasn't brave enough to test them. So many talented artists and crafts people have yet again been so generous with their time and their work. Much love to those who are able to send parcels because I get just as much fun watching them being opened as those at La Lande. I also loved the La Lande beer mugs and wax seal. So many treasures!
