The family from Texas family adopted a new baby boy, Nathan, this month. Her daughters knew they were getting a baby, but didn’t know when or whether it would be a boy or a girl.

The mum-of-three decided film the moment she introduced her daughters to their new brother and post it on Facebook.

“We met them at the door and told them that we had been out Christmas shopping and got them a gift to share… and it was under the tree!” She captioned the now-viral video.

Courtney’s three girls walked towards the Christmas tree where they discovered little Nathan.

The Solstad girls’ reaction was incredibly heart-warming. The sisters were completely beside themselves, wiping away tears of joy as they’re introduced to their little brother.

“Can I touch him?,” one of the girls excitedly asks.

“I’m going to wet my pants,” another jokes.

A chalkboard next to him read, “My Christmas Wish List for my mom and dad to have the baby they desire.”

In a follow-up Facebook post, the proud mum said that Nathan’s adoption has been “one of the most magical experiences” for the family.

“We prayed big things and God answered in big ways! Our little guy is so incredibly perfect! He is healthy and happy and just the sweetest thing you have ever seen,” she penned.

The video has since been viewed nearly 200,000 times!
