Wishing you a Happy Birthday Nati. You bring a sparkle to the show.

[@hollyssimplelife1634]

Yes such a beautiful and intelligent woman.

[@jordankenzo2854]

You prolly dont care but if you guys are bored like me atm you can watch pretty much all the latest series on Instaflixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend for the last weeks =)

[@lawrenceforrest5308]

@Jordan Kenzo Yup, been using instaflixxer for years myself =)

[@gertsgarden]

Happy Birthday to the behind the scenes organizer at my favorite fairy tale castle! I hope your day was full of fine food and wonderful gifts! You bring such joy to the world with you kindness and wit, and let’s face it you can really rock a ball gown. Seriously you could be a model. Anxiously awaiting Philip being shoved in a hole. Maybe he will find Hedgehogs.

[@eileeng2492]

Stephanie has a lovely way of complimenting people and putting a smile on their faces. Such a generous nice quality.

[@mariapetras5835]

Very true 😉

[@gaslitworldf.melissab2897]

Once again. You've pulled off a wonderful dinner and a delightful party and La La Land. Selmar and Naty dance very well together. Congratulations Naty for another year and may you enjoy a thousand more.

[@serenashaw-q3y]

Sorry, the cauliflower ..... no.

[@chasethecat3839]

I would secretly like them to be a couple. Shhhhh 🤫🤫

[@carolinejobe9346]

so happy for Nattie that she has a salsa partner, there is nothing worse than noone to salsa with

[@kit2130]

25:35 when Selmar started laughing so hard with his face turning red I had to laugh out loud with him. I kept rewinding & laughing more. It's so contagious when Selmar laughs 😁

[@laurieanne9712]

Stephanie, professeuse, you certainly must wear your glasses when you are teaching us all things classique on Sundays at the Chateau!

[@birdman9265]

Stephanie you look like a teenager in the glasses! Like you are studying at University. Love the new glasses!

Nothing beats partying in the Kitchen and ending the night with some dancing💃💃💃 Happy Birthday Nati🎁🎂🎉🎊

[@cindygarrison6338]

My favorite thing in pandemic is kitchen dancing!

[@THX3811]

Happy Birthday Nati!! I was right - every dancing queen should have her own personal disco light!

[@nataliaoliveto7077]

Ohhh James!!! Here you are!!! Thanks so so much for your lovely gift!!! The disco ball is amazing and it will bring happiness every time we use it; and the chocolate and the card.... Everything so thoughtful and wonderful. Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@THX3811]

[@MP-xf6gq]

These Vlogs get better and better every day. Selma, Phillip and Nati add so much as the "long time core group". Can't wait until Nic and family and Michael Potts returns.

[@ta3970]

I have to say Stephanie ~ you're killing it with the 1960's housewife vibe while mashing the potatoes ❣😂🥰

[@scpmdt]

Happy Birthday Nattie. You couldn’t have picked a better group to spend this special day with. God Bless you always. ❤️

[@shirleyleichliter4487]

Stephanie you are right this is the greatest team I have seen at the Chateau, all honest, polite, and loving team, they are your (Dream Team) Happy birthday Naty, wish you all the best.

[@MsCaterific]

🤎 LOL 🤣... smashing the potatoes. I've always wondered why some call it "smashed potatoes" rather than "mashed potatoes". Now I know why! LOL!

[@jennifercasavant-yealy900]

Happy Birthday Nati!🥰🎉😊 I think Ian is such a nice guy ~ correct. Glasses look fantastic Stephanie 👏 😍

[@joannebilsland3033]

I agree, I think Ian is such a genuine, kind man and the chateau is safe in his hands X

[@sheilamilliken9642]

Many happy returns Natalia have a super fun day 🎈🎉💕🎂💐🍸🍹 xx

[@debschmitt761]

Too funny, Stephanie smashing the potatoes with the pot! I've made the smashed potatoes before but my recipe had me smash them with my palms, next time I'll use the boiling pot. They are delicious. Looking forward to the Tea shop project progress

[@rose-marie7351]

Happy birthday Nati! I usually dont make my own birthday dinner, but i do buy myself my own birthday gift! Its time to treat yourself! 😁🥳🎉🎊💖🎈💝🎁🎁🎁

[@FaithfulCatholicIN]

Yup it’s me smiling and laughing from beginning to end. Happy birthday Nati!

[@helanalurie9962]

Happy birthday Nati! Glad you had such a lovely day. I was astonished when I rushed from the laundry back to my phone in the kitchen hearing Selmar ask Stephanie what she is doing. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw her hitting those potatoes with a pot, thinking, if she didn't put enough pins in her Renaissance hair do, those blond hair locks will be tumbling done any moment! Was sooooo funny to watch! 😆🤭 Can't wait to see what you will find under that trap door!!👀🎑👌

[@jeanninef2110]

I don’t want it to end!! So fun!!

[@LizelleGrobler]

Happy Birthday beautiful Nati. 🧁🥂💐

[@cornishcoves9399]

Natalia must have felt so special and blessed for everything you all did for her ♥ from the early morning tea in bed to the lovely dinner...She looked even more beautiful than ever it is great to see all the love in your Chateau and I hope it is okay to say that Selmar's hair looked especially nice....and have missed his dancing (he is so busy)...those hips...oh my....fanning myself..lol HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR NATALIA and many many more!!!!♥the cake looked so yummy too.What a special treat to have such beautiful flowers around every day thanks to Marie!♥

Never underestimate the power of all the love and friendship you are all surrounded with.

[@cynthialambert9067]

My friend did that same miniature project alone and it took her a month. Good thing you are working as a team. The finished item was lovely.

[@lianegordon971]

Hello. I was watching and thinking this would be a lovely project to do over Christmas with everyone putting a different bit together. Could you tell me where you can get this miniature set?

[@wakahere]

I’m rewatching all the diaries vlogs Stephanie is so much fun and always goes out of her way for others on their birthdays Natty was very spoilt and got to enjoy her day without preparing and cooking her own birthday meal and doing a DIY Stephanie you are the best!

[@gillianrussel2444]

Happy Birthday Nati!! 💖🎉🎉💃🎁🎂🍫🍹🥂🍸🍸🍾🎉🎉 & Many Happy Returns!! 🥂🎉🎉😁😘💖 Stephanie, I must say - those glasses in the thumbnail make you look so much younger!!..your optician trip reminded me of September last year when I got my 'Finniston Cran' glasses for the driving provisional I've still to book! 😂..ahead of you in glasses but behind you in driving 😂😂💖

[@cindygarrison6338]

I love them! Very sexy librarian!

[@marielvanhees9531]

When I see Selmar and Philip working together it immediately makes me think of Buurman & Buurman (or Pat a Mat to others). But surely less clumsy 😆.
