One of the things I love about children is how they express emotion without any reservation or thought to how they look. They can get ecstatically happy, which makes them fun to surprise.

That said, meet Lily.

It’s about to be Lily’s birthday, and her parents have a big surprise for her.

This video is just too cute. If anything, I hope it brings a smile to your face and reminds you of a time when you were so happy you could cry.
