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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

That was so sweet. Thank you Mummy Sinterklaas in the Netherlands. The surprise and happiness on the childrens' faces was lovely.

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 !!!

What a magical evening Philip and Mrs Janssen created for the children....and adults. This was beautiful to watch.

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.

That is so very sweet!! I cried listening to the individual poems that Philip wrote to the little children! Absolutely lovely!!

Lovely to see Annalise and Amy and all the kiddos!! ❤ So sweet!!

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.

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.

That was absolutely adorable. Well done Phillip for helping to keep the magic alive for the children and sharing your own traditions.

One of my favorite episodes!! Jack's drop jaw moment at 6:43 totally encapsulates the whole episode perfectly!!

Absolutely precious!!! What an absolute gem Philip is!!!! He must be just like his mother. They both have beautiful, kind, big hearts ❤️❤️❤️

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!

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. 😊

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.

Jack's expressions says it all... adorable ❤

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!❤

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.

These children are living a magical childhood because their chateau parents & friends dared to dream

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!

Well done, Philip for organizing this. What a fabulous evening you created for these children. And a special thanks to your wonderful mother.

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.

Just when you thought you couldn’t love Phillip any more. Such an adorable thing to do for the children. Real magic right there x

Christmas magic is invisible. You don’t see it. You hear it. You taste it. You feel it in your heart.

I know it’s a ton of work for you guys but I am absolutely LOVING my daily dose of LaLande!

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 💗🤗

Oh gosh, children with tiny British accents! The absolute cutest!

The kids are so adorable. Great work Philip and mom.

Children’s excitement at Xmas is truly magical 🎅🏻🎄

Such fun, and what a beautiful heart Philip has! The adults looked as delighted as the children.

SO good to see ANALISE and her boys all are so happy

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 🥰

What a lovely thing Philip did for these children. They will always have this memory of a delightful evening at your Château.

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)

The children looked very happy. What a special treat for everyone.

Just the best !!! Philip is such a thoughtful caring soul ⭐⭐

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!

A magical episode. Phillip is the Christmas Master 💝🥰🤶🏻🎅🏻🎄 Merry Advent ❤️

We had Krampus Nact along with Sinta Klaus’ visit. We were gifted with a chocolate letter, a book, and salted liquorice. Lovely traditions!

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.

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.

All the little boys together were adorable! How fun to see some little kids at LaLande for Christmas time.

There is nothing more beautiful than a children face full of joy and inocence. Its what I miss the most, when my sons were just an innocent children waiting their Christmas presents. Well in my country ( I'm spanish) we celebrate the three wise men, on january 6th. Kids left their shoes with some food for the camels before they go to bed early.

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.

We celebrated this when we lived in Germany. This was lovely.

So sweet They were so excited Made me tear up

The chateau glows with the warmth of not only the robust fire 😁 but by the joy in every one's faces, to watch those children be so immersed in the visit of SC

This brought me so much happiness today watching the children find there sweets and looking for 🎅. Precious excitement for them. It’s magical!

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 delightful. Their little faces and so lovely to see the next generation making friends.

How sweet and thoughtful of Phillip and his Mom❤ To share all their holiday love with all of you, is heartwarming ❤️⭐️🎄

How magical, the look on their faces when they saw their boots had goodies in them. thank you Philip 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 the most precious thing ever!❤️💙💖💜Philip you are so good with children. You brought joy to their hearts!

Phillip is so child-like in his enthusiasm’s, very sweet!

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.💛💛💛

How lovely! The children’s happy faces, so precious ❤

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 ! ❤🏰

Ohhh Philip, you really are such a star! Such thoughtfulness and kindness went into making Sinterklass so special for the children. Perfect!

Just adorable ❤ lovely to see everyone, Jacks little face when Annalise read his letter 🥰 Great letters Philip ❤

How adorable! Philip….you’re an Angel! Just want to say how fab the opening sequence and choice of music is….these dailies are a treat! Thank you xx ❤

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😊.

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 ! 🌸🌸🌸

I have been watching you for years but I don't normally comment, however this was Brilliant!!!! Well done Philip!!🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

The children are so precious!

Stephanie and Phillip are so well matched 😊that was fantastic for the children😊

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.

This is sooooo adorable! I just love the excitement of the children at this time of year! So well done Phillip! My heart is bursting! 🥰

How beautiful to share other traditions.

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. 🥳🎄🧑‍🎄👏👏👏👏🥰🐝🐝🌼🌻

Now we know where Philip gets his unique and lovely combination of care and precision, from his mother. What a wonderful party that the kids will remember forever!

Just fabulous, so kind of Phillip. And I was so happy to see Annalise again looking so well.

I didn't know I could love Phillip any more than I already did! 🥰

My face hurts from smiling! I was smiling just as much about Philip as I was the kids!

Best one yet. So lovely.

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!

I’m falling in love more and more with Phillips gentle ways hes so sweet almost gives you a tooth ache lol blessito you all xoxo

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!

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.🤟🏻💜🎄🎅🇺🇸

Oh love them xmas is so magical and you can tell its lovely and warm as you all got rosy cheeks, so good seeing annalise and children

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

Oh, the chandelier is up... 😍😍😍 It is such a cozy room - and HOT, I bet, with that blazing fire 😂 And a little magic for the kids 🙂

This was so incredibly sweet. The children's excitement is contagious.

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. 🙏

Absolutely adorable vlog! Thanks to Phillip, Jared, and Phillip’s mother (and any other LaLanders who helped out) for creating this special experience for these young ones. 🥰

I love the delight on their faces! Christmas and children, alas nothing better!

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.

Philip was brilliant and so touching in creating this event!

Oh my. Loved the looney tunes on the kids. Classic! So much fun!

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!

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 was a little boy for a moment with a big smile watching this!

The room, so beautiful with the fire and sweet little children. Precious Philip with his mother's help bringing everyone the magic of Santa's cousin, Sinter Klaas. 🇳🇱🇬🇧🇨🇵 🎄🎁 🍫👞 💜💜💜

I love your child focus advent. Little ones make the magic of Christmas

Today's video was just lovely!!! Just what I needed. Watching the joy in these kids face made my day

I think Philip was having as much fun as the children which I love!!! Cute little faces of those adorable children! ❤️❤️❤️😍
