My BOYFRIEND gives me my XMAS PRESENT early + SURPRISE MAKEOVER for Mummy's apartment!🎄| Advent 2022

[@carolehanrahan]

You and Philip are so thoughtful with each room you decorate, thinking of the people who will be in it and their favourite things and treats. Philip spends so much time to make a table setting that will look beautiful to the eye and compliment the meal that will be served. It is all such perfection and it is all done with so much love. I think that is what makes La Lande such a magical place, all of the love that is poured into every square inch. It's so good to see everyone reuniting back at La Lande for Christmas.

[@jennifercampbell7698]

I agree! I adore the way Stephanie and Philip make everyone welcome and comfortable at the Chateau, especially tailoring the rooms to each person staying with such love. And Isabelle is so right, Philip is a beautiful, kind and loving man who provides such love and support to Stephanie and all at LaLande. And we viewers feel it wherever we are. Merry Advent everyone 🥰🎅🏻🎄🥂🍾🎶⛪️💫

[@Adriana_mg]

So well said! ❤

[@richardrodgers7311]

I love how mommy goes straight to the nativity and says "This is what it is all about!" I think mommy has her priorities right. Merry Christmas.

[@annaibarra3447]

I know. ❤

[@GospelTruth37059]

Amen Jesus is the reason for the season :)

[@camilled.8852]

I agree!

[@lynnranger7759]

Oops! Je vous aime beaucoup! You bring me Joy! 🎉❤

[@janmitchell641]

Stephanie and Phillip are soooo loving and kind to her Mom and Percy. You don’t often see a son-in-law who gets equally, if not more excited than his partner to do nice things for his mum-in-law. Such a creative and thoughtful fellow. Christmas love from 🇨🇦

[@cindihansen8111]

Your aunt has the most beautiful handwriting!

[@Michelle-wk4ek]

They all have fabulous talent don’t they 😊

[@300books]

I was thinking the same thing, beautiful handwriting. Shame many schools now in the U.S. no longer teach cursive writing.

[@TWROC96]

Your aunt and uncle fit right in with the constant energy and vibe at the chateau and your mom and Percy are like "resistance is futile" 😂🤣. Stephanie, you and Philip are wonderful in making every event special especially for those you love- whether they want it or not 🤣🤣🤣. I bet you and your aunt can get into some real trouble with your mom.

[@annaibarra3447]

It’s so cute! I find Stephanie and Philip so much Stephanie’s aunt & uncle.

[@cynthiastewart4500]

You did a beautiful job decorating Percy and Mummy's apartment for Christmas. Love the Nativity made by Wendy and the creature themed Christmas tree.

[@gglydie4242]

I just love Philips ability to arrange a room. Everything has a place and looks just perfect. He is so talented!

[@lancestricklin5271]

I see now how you make a first rate fella like Amoury. You absolutely need two outstandingly sweet parents like His. It’s wonderful as well to see so much of your family at the château. You all are going to have such a memorable Christmas this year! Merry Christmas all!

[@boessheila50]

For SURE. ARMORY. IS VERY SWEET LIKE PARENTS! And omg. Such a great carpenter. Builder!! And a lovely wife Natti!!❤

[@anandhicooray5512]

When I saw Mummy and Percy arrive at La Lande, I felt as if my Mum returned (I lost my Mum last August to covid). It is so lovely to see them back. The picture is now complete. Love the cabbage plates. Philip has such good taste. Loved the room decor and his thoughtfulness. Happy Advent!

[@4BWVan]

Everyone did a great job, but Philip's thoughtful and beautiful touches to make the apartment more useful and organized were the highlights for me

[@seachange17]

Philip is a great decorator and thoughtful in a precious way; mummy knows.

[@spinstercatlady]

Your aunt is absolutely precious! What a sweet, sweet lady.

[@Cherishedprints-stationery]

Awe Philip! The way you look at Stephanie is everything. I'm so happy you have each other. 💕

[@paulawillett1563]

The changes in their apartment are amazing. Well done to all.

[@raineydewey]

Just love the Chateau Diaries and the way you always celebrate life! And I'm so getting spoiled with a video everyday during this Advent season! Truly!

[@Jane-3229]

Whenever I’m feeling fed up and low I love to watch your Christmas advent videos ❤thank you x

[@bethmanns6675]

Stephanie I don't usually comment but I wanted to tell you how much I love your daily advent series. And somehow, especially today, was really sweet. Maybe because I am closer to your mother's age, I love how you joyfully anticipate her arrival and strive to make her visit extra special. Philip you are so thoughtful and talented and as a mother-in-law, I love how you apply your talents to the space.

[@yknowles163]

I also never comment but I do want to tell you, Stephanie, that I am really enjoying the videos every day! I know it is a HUGE amount of work and I just want to say THANK YOU! Christmas is always a melancholy time for me but listening to your positive videos every day has really made a difference this year. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you all!

[@robynforman1978]

Phillip is so kind and supportive of your work Stephanie. As your mother commented. Percey and Mommy's room wow what a joy to come home to. So atmospheric. You and Phillip are so creative and talented. Thank you for another wonderful video. Sending abundance of peace and love to you all. Greetings from England.

[@angelaegan7511]

Uncle Steven is so stylish. I can never imagine him reclining in a track suit 😂

[@boessheila50]

Wow. U and Phillip and ur friends did such a lovely job redecorating ur mom and Percy's room. Fabulous ideas and excellent food for dinner. Very very wonderful!😍

[@michelelynn6914]

So lovely seeing how much Mommy enjoyed the decorated apartment.

[@Bl0nD1e711]

Philip always has the best ideas and such great taste. The two make a wonderful team.

[@michaelt8727]

The Christmas spirit is reaching far and wide at Lalande this year, with able assistance from Stephanie, Philip and crew. Especially Stephanie, reaching again and again for another date. Now the question is, how many treats can a sweet eater eat when every treat is a sweet?

[@elizabethcoffee8436]

“Well, why not”?! 😂 That about sums it up!❤

[@racebanning6390]

MUM WAS OVERWHELMED AND SO HAPPY.. HER REACTION WAS PRICELESS!!!... WHAT A GREAT WEEK FOR YOU ALL. BE BLESSED AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I WAS SMILING THE WHOLE TIME.

[@kathymalloy6246]

Oh my! So awesome! I wish I could find someone like Philip! You two are great together! 😘🎄Your Mom and Percy are so wonderful! It brings tears to my eyes! I miss my Mom so much. Especially this time of year. Give her lots of hugs hun!

[@taitweigel64]

Mama has given Philip her seal of approval. You are a thoughtful couple, well suited for each other and a joy for all those around you.

[@metropcs7560]

Stephanie your mother is amazing, she just is alive, with life, so wonderful.

[@mysuburbangarden.5538]

I can’t tell you how much you are responsible for me getting into the Christmas spirit. I could just watch your advent shows continuously Like 24 hours of advent!❤

[@kristing9154]

I just love your Mum, Percy and your Aunt and Uncle. They are such a joy. And of course everyone else. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

[@teresayeates3437]

I just saw the aunt and uncle on the birthday video, loved them instantly. Especially the aunt.

[@vickyoakes4584]

What a wonderful Christmas surprise for your Mother, I love it!

[@Lea-bw9wj]

The way Mummy spoke about Philip was so loving and appreciative. He really is perfect for Stephanie (and she him).

[@gardenparty2771]

Your aunt's penmanship is lovely.

[@LynnaeaEmber]

Your videos make me feel that I am there celebrating with you. The way you and Philip decorate each room has inspired me to decorate my house and set beautiful tables. I have bought a collection of wine and a beautiful wine rack to keep it on. All because of Lalande, my favorite channel.

[@viviennehughes4343]

Your mother looks so happy. Wonderful to see how much your efforts are appreciated.

[@eamonnohalloran2254]

So happy to see Isabel and Percy back in their beautifully appointed apartment tastefully decorated for Chtistmas. True to form Isabel is immeadiately touched by the nativity scene and the flowering bulbs on the counter. Symbolic of her love of Family and of Nature, Always mindful of their great Mystery. As the princicals and friends gather over the coming days. We can only wonder and anticipate the joy that is to come.

[@drusabs]

Philip spends so much time such perfection Your Aunt and Uncle are amazing and such fun

[@patdowney4984]

Stephanie you and Phillip are so thoughtful x so good to see mummy and Percy love them x x

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

[@ddenice963]

[@waynesmith3908]

Ohhh my goodness, Mummy is a secret Grinch . Hahaaaa I Love it !! She will claim NOT to like Christmas but then will really Love it when all the Who's, make a big whovian fuss all about her !! Awe see she Loves everything, how Lovely Stephanie and Phillip.

[@EmilyBoltz]

I know how fun it is to surprise your mom and family - to see the look on their faces. It is such a blessing to have Phillip as a partner who really enjoys making things feel very special!❤

[@nicolethijs5428]

I have over 200 chrochet stars for my Christmas tree( one of many styles of trees decoration I have) I constandly use these chrochet stars in combinations with different Christmas ornaments. Maman’s and Percy’s appartment looks wonderful! Philip is a master decorator!

[@lunalouhoo]

I love how Phillip always knows the best way to organize stuff.

[@sharondilloncavalierland954]

I'm so delighted to see Mummy and Percy. When she wished me a happy birthday a few weeks ago I asked her when she would be back because I have missed her so much. She said the 20th so I have been counting the days! Happy advent! I love what you did with her apartment, too!

[@chrisdavis2040]

Your mother's room looks so beautiful ❤️ with all specials touches

Stephanie make sure you tell Phillip what a beautiful job he did decorating Mummy & Percy's apartment at the Chateau, so elegant. God Bless all of you. Kathy 🇺🇸

[@nokesbob2256]

Your Aunt has beautiful hand writing. Your list makes me hungry! Your Mother's apartment is perfect. Adding that dressing table and chair is so nice. You have a wonderful family. Merry Advent to you all.

[@denisemarle4141]

Wonderful to have Isabelle and Percy back and their apartment looks beautiful, Percy's plane with Christmas lights the finishing touch! 🎄🦘

[@peterwhite9261]

You guys did a great job on their room. It is really beautiful. The cabbage rolls and plates look divine. Welcome back Isabelle and Percy.

Lovely cabbage plates. Dinner did look great! I could cry to see such loving family. Nati's family seem very sweet as well. Philip always comes through with such talent! Very creative in many ways. Thank you for sharing all of the days of Lent with us all!

[@valerialamberti9037]

I really adore all of you, you are great, but your aunt gives me incredible tenderness, she is a very charming lady!

[@judynail1690]

Philip really knows how to cozy up a room so thoughtfully. Stephanie you are so fortunate to have your sweet family around for the holiday and that you have captured those moments on film will mean so much to you later on when they can no longer be there. It's a real blessing for you and a treat for us. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful home and life with us.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

OOOhhHHHH! Mummy is not the only one who loves the cabbage plates! I do also! They are lovely, really lovely. Thank you for the video!

[@debimacinnis5548]

Stephanie your Aunt's handwriting is exquisite and the meal looked delicious. The work that you and Philip did to your mother and Percy's apartment was stunning you are both so talented and I must not forget your Uncle who worked very hard to bring the tree to life.

[@racheldowning3976]

Phillip is so sweet. And how does he make scarves and hats always look so polished. I never achieve that.

[@ivysavage5569]

How really thoughtful of you and Philip and your Aunt and Uncle for decorating your Mum and Percy’s suite so lovingly. The meal was yummy as always ❤

[@tamaliaalisjahbana6849]

That was so nice. A family that loves rather than fights. It is so nice how you have gathered your family around you and your friends and I really think Philip is the perfect husband for you. He shares your values and your interests and has a kind heart. Anyone who loves hedgehogs the way he does has kindness in them…

[@rayleneertle951]

Was so glad to see mommy and Percy

[@christineumanzio1170]

Your Mom was so happy! Well done!

[@earlaagaard8175]

[@michellezevenaar]

[@andreacatzel8259]

Now the festivities can begin, with Isabel and Percy at home! Their apartment looks magnificent. Such care and thoughtfulness has gone into every detail. Philip, you really are an Angel and a partner to Stephanie in every respect. It’s such a joy to watch you all scurrying about in prep for Christmas. Love the white cabbage plates. When I heard cabbage plates I imagined the green….. argh……I should’ve known better…Philip’s taste is impeccable. What a lovely gift. Love to you all xx ❤

[@cliffhorman6846]

Mummy is so funny! The apartment came up beautifully. Phillip, those plates are absolutely lovely. And I would have loved dinner, so rustic and yummy!

[@figencebe9287]

Every time I watch you, I find myself smiling … you are both such an inspiration on so many levels … you did such a good job thinking about all the details …

[@tinabeaver]

I adore you and your passion (you = Stephanie and Philip). I started crying when Isabelle complimenting the both of you. It is wonderful that you have a relationship with each other. I have broke free of my relatives and for the first time celebrating with my tribe and I am having the most festive time. I still long for what could of been but I am grateful to be surrounded, and lifted by passionate souls that appreciate and reciporcate. Wishing all the LaLanders a joyful Yule!

[@ellebelle8515]
