Some day, when we’re long gone and Dan and Annalise’s boys are old, they’ll be able to have these vlogs to remember what fun times they had at the Chateau when they were wittle!
I doubt it. Technology will have moved on and nobody will have a clue how to access it. Smart phones will be old hat replaced by some sort of nuclear contraption. Most laptops don't even have a disk drive anymore. Enjoy while you can. 😀
@@elisabethhopson5639, gee, you are certainly lots of fun.
@@evmcelroy just realistic, technology always keeps changing. I would love the boys could have the ability to watch these precious videos, but the chance of it happening is very slim.
@@elisabethhopson5639it’s true. My vhs tapes of my kids and parents all faded away to blank. A few words here or there can be heard but they’re not repairable.
It’s a nice comment Stephanie despite the Debbie Downer.
Dan's children are adorable they got so so grown-up. What fun and such sweet helpers .
Nice, Annalise and the boys are there
Loved the Marie interlude just listening to the birds alone.
Me too!! ❤️
Oh it is lovely to see Annalise and the boys! The boys are adorable and have really grown!
OOHHH, so lovely to see Jack & Thomas, they have grown beautifully, just gorgeous, and their mother Annalise too.
@ Stephanie Jarvis we use to have Easter egg hunts for the kids ( plastic eggs had $ in them too) 25 years later my sister who now owns my grandmother’s house ) cut a tree down and inside the trunk a squirrel had taken a old plastic egg and stuck in the trunk inside was still $1. Was amazing to find
Lovely story!
The second animal you collected Stephanie was an Australian Bilby. In 1991 Nicholas Newland from the Foundation for Rabbit-Free Australia developed the idea of Easter Bilby to raise awareness about the environmental damage that feral rabits cause, he hoped to replace the Easter Bunny with true native wildlife. Of course it just wouldn't be Easter without an Easter Bunny.
This is I believe the 5th Easter I've spent with LaLande, and it was everything I'd hoped it would be! I look forward to your egg hunt all year!
What fun with the kids. The table was beautiful and Marie you did it again with the Hot Cross Buns.
Out of all the Easter videos on this channel, this one is the best yet! I
Dan & Analise children are beautiful!
Dan and Annalise's boys are growing so fast! They are just adorable!
The Napkins stole the show as well as the lovely different salt and pepper pots, the quiches and the hot cross buns, well done Marie and Sabena's cheese dip wins hands down for art work and I laughed just as hard as you two. What a beautiful Easter. Well Done Stephanie and company.
The napkins came out brilliantly ! Actually, I just delight at the look of the dining room everytime I see it, the chairs and decor look so good. The table setting as usual was beautiful.
It’s a Bilby not wallaby. Still native to Australia and the purchase of easter Bilbys helps with preservation efforts to keep our Bilby populations strong. Happy Easter from Australia
So good to see that the Australian Wombat and long eared Bilby were at La Lande for Easter.🇦🇺
Steph, just letting you know, that is not actually a wallaby, it is a Bilby. Easter Bilbies are Australia’s alternative to the bunny. 😊🇦🇺Happy Easter! xx
Bilbies are much cuter than bunnies as well 🥰🇦🇺
Yes, it is spirea! You're better with flower names than you give yourself credit for! The little white flowers in English are Wood Anemones.That "cheese person" on the side table is absolutely hilarious!
Love the Easter egg hunt in the woods 😊 Jack & Thomas having such fun, Marie & Stephanie too 😁 I believe those little white flowers Marie found are wood anemones, so pretty 🥰
Amazing to see Lancelot out and about.. 😂 lovely to see he now loves being outside
Oh I had a good giggle at the Lalanders roaming around the wood with their bunny ears on....fabulous fun. Easter greeting everyone.
The serviettes are perfect and the table looked lovely. The Easter egg hunt is always a huge success and the buns were wonderful Marie.
Fun fact: hot cross buns were first backed in St Albans! Happy Easter to all.
I love the woods and the peace it offers. Easter is such fun even for the adults.
Happy Easter to all at Lalande. How nice it is to see Dan's beautiful boys again.
It is nice to see Annalise, Jack, and Thomas again. I am glad you still include her other than just doing hair!
Such a beautiful Easter gathering! Loved seeing everyone. The children were adorable!
Nice to see the Aussies represented in the Easter egg hunt. The wombat and the Bilby. Greetings from Australia.
Marie …you asked what the white woodland flowers were in English…well they’re called wood anemones. I laughed when Stephanie and Marie reunited at the end of the hunt and Stephanie said she had been eating her eggs and Marie asked her if she still had room for lunch and almost before she finished asking…Stephanie nodded gleefully and for hot cross buns too. I always find I’m smiling broadly when I watch and I always go back and watch again in case I missed any nuance. Happy Easter 🐣
Or ‘wooden enemies’ as we call them when we were little. Still do now😉 lovely to see such a blanket of them.
That dog is a riot. Happy, happy, dog. Love seeing him run.
He is so cute. I just love him.
Marie is hilarious with the cheese 😂 Happy Easter everyone 🐣🐰
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I am rolling no French person would make cheese like that
A joy to watch your lovely Easter tradition of Easter egg hunting. Those hot cross buns look delicious.
Happy Easter 🐣 Jack and Thomas are absolutely gorgeous ❤️
😮 the hot cross bun look so good
I can’t believe the Easter wombat and the Easter bilby made it all the to France from here in Australia!!
Came to the comments to see who recognised the Easter Bilby, it's not a wallaby Steph, lol.
Wow the table looks amazing I love how Phillip takes such care creating a beautiful setting.🤩🤩🤩
Philip’s table, again, shows his amazing talent for design. Hopefully he takes a photo each time he makes a setting. So creative!
The illusive NICK! SURPRISED ME.🤣😂 Happy Easter everyone! How lovely as usual. 🐰🌸💮🌹🪻🌱🌳🐶🌲🐣
The most beautiful garden is your" friendship" garden. What a wonderful collection of old and new friends, young and old...all treasures! You are all blessings to each other!
You're waiting on the Easter Bunny and we're waiting on possible tornadic thunderstorms in Illinois. Our Spring is here. They lob ice eggs at us.
Oh dear, hope it passed.
the little prestons are growing up so fast! annalise and dan are doing well with the co-parenting. glad they both are staying friends with all of the lalanders. gorgeous table philip and i love those salt and pepper shakers. lovely easter for all the hunt, the food, the napkins!!
Another wonderful Easter at LaLande, so much fun! It was so good to see beautiful Annalise and the boys. Happy Easter everyone. XO
What a joy you all are! A heartfelt thanks for sharing the beauty & the love. ❤🐾🐣🌼🐰
Dan’s boys are mini Dan, they both look like their dad. So cute.
My Easter is complete with another annual Easter egg hunt. So beautiful with all the flowers. What a delicious looking brunch. Marie, those hot cross buns and quiches looked delicious. Love the table setting and napkins. The little lads were so happy. Made my day! Love and Happy Easter to you all.❤
Loved all the napkins too!! 💗🐇
Love Annalise wee ones are so adorable🎉
Happy Easter to everyone It's good to see Annalise and boys
It’s so beautiful in the woods and even better finding a glorious chocolate egg yum! 😋 the table is amazing so pretty, the hot cross buns Marie made are delectable, terrific serviettes embroided by yourself with a little help from Dan’s cute boys. Glorious Easter celebration
I so love the grounds and forest at La Lande, its so beautiful. The river, the bird song and the tress and spring flowers. It really is beautiful and soothing. Loved Marie's hot cross buns, you really are turning into a skilled cook now Marie, well done. And a lovely cute table with the napkins.
It's 79 degrees in Kentucky. Great for the Easter egg hunt. But if you are sitting in the house watching The Chateau Diaries, and you forgot to open windows last night and you don't want to turn on the air conditioning yet, it's kinda stuffy
It’s a beautiful sunny day here in Dayton Ohio but only 64° however, I enjoyed the outdoors without a coat.
Marie got it right,”be still and know that I’m God”….He has risen!
I did not know a chocolate wombat was even an option!
Those boys! 🥰 I LOVE Easter at LaLande! Everything is so beautiful & well done!
The boys are so cute and growing fast. Lovely parents.
LaLande makes me so happy! Thank you for sharing with us.😊
Wonderful vlog!! I imagine Lalande is just a magical playground for Annelise' s boys🪻🚜🐰 . Marie you are a wizard with food and flowers. Love the napkins stephanie
Marie has totally upped her game, really the lovely young woman is like spring, she is glowing and blooming.
...all water depending on the mood of the rabbit😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂
Marie's Hot-Cross-Buns looked scrumptious!!! The woods around the stream looked amazing with all of the moss and wild flowers, as well as the white flowers behind the Chapel, what a Treat for Easter! Thanks for sharing the sights and sounds of the birds! Wonderful Easter Day with friends and Annalise's little ones!
🍃🐇. Yummy! Marie’s hot cross buns..and I’m still eating St. Patrick’s Day soda bread(frozen)!🍃
You couldn’t ask for a nicer Easter Steph. Job well done by everyone.
Nice to finally see. Nick without a paper bag on his head🤭. Lots of fun had by all, 😁 Happy Easter 😘
Did we just saw Illusive Nick for the first time ever? Thank you for sharing this wonderful day, specially lonely viewer can feel as if they belong. 😌 Beautiful
A charming episode of country life, of peace and happiness . The chocolate hunt in the Springtime woods was so idyllic, 😁Phillips bunny ears and the gorgeous Easter table 😍. Happy Easter 🐨🐰
The Easter egg hunt was lots of fun. Great looking hot cross buns. The quiches turned out to look delicious. As usual the table was fabulous and those napkins with the bunnies on were stunning. Happy Easter everyone. ❤️ Anna
Happy Easter to you all, what a wonderful day it is . I love seeing Annalise and the boys. Love and best wishes for you all.
Every Easter so far, you seem to have been blessed with wonderful weather. I do miss Michael Potts' presence, he always lends such an air of fun and energy in along with the children on the hunt for Easter goodies. The meal and the table setting after all that chocolate were a healthy and visual delight and I don't doubt everyone there went to bed happy, content and well fed.
OMG! Happy Easter Stephanie, Phillip, and LaLande. I was lucky enough to be one of your guests this summer, and it warms my (and my mothers) heart to see my childhood Easter tablecloth on your table. It is the perfect place for this happy memory to live, at beautiful and happy lalande. Thank you for ALL that you do to bring beauty and joy to the world.
Thank you both for your love and support!
The white flowers are called Wind Flowers here in West Virginia, USA.
This was a wonderful Easter celebration! The boys have gotten so big! Your napkins are gorgeous!
Your woods are glorious.
Happy Easter all!❤ 🪻🌱🪺
Wonderful video, thank you so much for sharing!!! Happy Easter!!!
Thank you for sharing all the Easter fun. Sadly I was alone and had to put my 12yr old Labrador to sleep on the 5th March and am still in the depths of grief however your vlogs has made me smile and inspired me to look for some joy again in the world. The flowers,friendship and fun you always bring into my life is so appreciated Steph I fear you'll never really know the difference you make in my life. I adore the way you view life such enthusiasm and appreciation 💕 I will at some point today make an effort to have a little walk and be thankful for all I have ,although my heart is broken with the loss of our dear Golden Labrador: Shelby Anne Louise Brown the love of my life she would have loved to play with Lancelot amongst the beautiful white flowers of Lalande. Happy Easter ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤ Happy Easter🐇
So sorry for your loss!
Thank you for sharing your Lovely Day! Perfect!
The Forest in Springtime is always a treat, we will just have to wait for bluebells. Wonderful morning and beautiful food and table. What fun with the boys!
Love that everyone is wearing the ears❤
Lancelot reminds me so much of my wee doggo. He’s a Scottie/chihuahua/doxxie mix. He’s much larger at 15 lbs than Lancelot but their personalities are so alike. George does not like other dogs, children, or strange adults so he could never be a chateau dog… but around those he knows, he’s so much like Lancelot. 😂
I have been watching for years and I love all your Easter videos. So much fun.
This is my second Easter with all of you. I am truly blessed to be part of all the fun. 💝
Marie, the Norwegian lady she is a fabulous cook. I love Norway Norway, is one of the best countries in the world and this Easter show I absolutely from my heart loved it tremendously thank you Stephanie for allowing us to people who watch your show to be able to see what you do it is so magnificent thank you thank you thank you and happy Easter.
The Wallaby was in fact a Bilby. Endangered here in Australia. What a great egg hunt you had. Perfect for the boys.
Thank you for sharing your Easter with us. It made me happy to watch.
What a fun video with such fun people.
Thomas has a Bilby native Australian animal that is under threat and is 🎉🎉now being used often in place of a rabbit to bring their plight to the attention of others. Great to see they are now in France. Happy Easter all🎉
What a delightful video. I do love your egg hunts and your choice of chocolates is amazing. The white flowers were Winter Aconites. Maybe some garden labels might a good idea that Davey could put out. The Easter table was epic. Happy Easter to you all. 🐣
What a delightful day! Happy Easter.
Happy Easter to all at La Lande and their extended families🐰🐣🥚
Watching your show made me feel absolutely happy! Thank you and hope you had a lovely weekend!
Well that was JOYOUS to watch! I always LOVE your Easter Videos Stephanie....great fun. Philip's table setting was just STUNNING!!! That Brother machine is really something out of this world! Those BUNNIES were perfection, and Philip chose the best napkins for them. Thank you so much for all the cheer. Sandi x PS Marie's buns were excellent! Sandi x🤩
Happy Easter!! Beautiful people, food, chocolate and flowers!! Love from Mary in Southern California 💗
The children, the woodlands and gardens, the splendiferous table, all the other wonderful people at this feast, the hot cross buns, the chocolate treats!!!!!!! What a celebration!!!!!
OMG... I tried making hot cross buns from scratch. They were not too bad. Marie's, in contrast, were a triumph! Happy Easter from Canada.
The bird song is magnificient. 🥰🥰🥰
It is amusing at the end of the video when Stephanie says she is trying have a nap, with Lancelot being like a little mole under the covers..I have fibromyalgia and therefore need frequent power naps and I have my very own mole who gets under my covers, her name is Cleo and she is just as adorable and daft as Lancelot.
What a fun lalande family Easter 🐇
Happy Easter from Australia! Loved that you had a chocolate wombat and a chocolate bilby (a native Australian animal that we like instead of rabbits as rabbits are an introduced species and have just destroyed our environment and caused billions of dollars of damage over the years)
My heart is happy now! Loved being there with you for Easter!
