EPIC Christmas Surprise!!!

[@naomivantonder1161]

I love how Solo sits on his couch and looks at his family with adoration.

[@Raina-bk1yv]

Belle's reaction to Judah was THE best! ❤

[@rebeccaknight9712]

She was emotional and so happy to see her brother. It was sweet! There's a lot of love in that little house.

[@daniellequartiers8578]

I literally had tears in my eyes when Judah walked in. After hearing of the tragic events in Japan over the last few days one of the first things I thought of was Judah being over there. Merry Christmas to you all and Happy New Year. I hope everyone in his group in japan is ok.

[@nf2920]

I thought about that too, and hoped they were all okay.

[@NyxyNoo]

I have been thinking of him too.

[@bettygrable6440]

Thanks for RUINING THE SURPRISE 🤨 Durrrrr

[@VickiTheCraftAttic]

Same!

[@tiffanygossett3447]

Yes, thanking God he is home and praying for Japan 🙏🏾

[@kimberlyarmstrong4272]

Why am I crying like this is one of those military people coming home videos? The look on those siblings faces when they seen their older brother is just priceless! ❤

[@OurTribeofMany]

It was such an amazing memory that we will always cherish! 😭 ❤️

[@missymyers7043]

Thank goodness for KZbin…1. You will always have this special memory to watch over and over AND 2. Folks like us that watched can share in the love and joy of such a precious moment. Blessings to Our Tribe of Many!

[@sarahgrumbine4327]

I’m crying just reading the comments I haven’t even watched it yet lol

[@NenaNenaNenaNenaNena]

Judah with Peace on his lap playing the baby piano and Belle crying on his arrival just melted me

[@hoosierladyus48]

I know, it was so sweet!

[@jdelgado1200]

The moment that got me crying was the look on Solo's face as Judah was hugging all of the kids. Couldn't miss the PRIDE in his face. A true father that gains a good majority of his purpose, love and enjoyment of watching his children show every emotion they have. Happiness especially at Christmas is a true joy. Thank you for sharing all of these special moment and memories with all of us. Peace be with you all...

[@juliefeatch4820]

Yes I noticed too how Solo looked whilst watching his son with his siblings. How sweet it was seeing them hugging. I think people are getting better again and giving less presents. It's so much better. Children get far too much. It's so much better and wiser to buy three maybe four presents that your child will actually play with. Rather than thirty presents that will not be appreciated and probably be forgotten. All the while parents are paying for a long time the bill on their credit card. Children need love and attention when possible. Not twenty four seven. They understand that their parents have things to do. They just need to know they are loved and cared for and if they can have some attention every that's what they will be grateful for. Children love cardboard boxes to play with. The bigger the better. Their imagination can go places.Remember that. Happy New year everyone. 😁😁

BEAUTIFUL FAMILY 😍😍😍

[@maureenholbery7629]

I am an 82 year old female in Melbourne Australia, I had tears in my eyes when Judah walked in, how exciting for this beautiful close family.

[@susiecox8413]

I had tears as well. All the kids have missed him so much and you could tell for sure!!

[@paulinatorell5273]

When Judah came in, I had tears in my eyes. What a wonderful surprise for everyone. God is so good all of the time. 🙏🏻💕

[@Astromontana]

Seeing everyone running to Judah brought the biggest smile to my face. Makes you remember how important it is to see and spend time with family, especially around this time of year.

[@TheWaterMinx]

My 4-year-old daughter has been very concerned about Judah's absence ever since he left. I think she was nearly as excited as his siblings that he was home to see everyone! The gasp of joy and excitement she made when he walked in had me in stitches. 😂

[@chicsss]

[@paulineclarke5388]

I have to say I had tears in my eyes when Judah arrived home, such a wonderful surprise for the family ❤❤

I never new I could cry over a family I never met. When I say I busted in tears when I herd his voice in the background. Such a powerful surprise for us all. The genuine love is amazing.

[@amclaudet]

So many of us left this comment!! ❤😅

[@emilywilson7486]

That hug with Belle…so sweet. But the hug with Solo, a man hugging his son becoming a man 🥹

[@krismay6]

I have watched Judah’s surprise appearance over and over! The love that your kids share with one another and you and Solo is beyond special and so beautiful. You and Solo have done many things right raising your kids and it really shows. There is just this feeling of such love and support - you watch and you know that they have never wanted for anything. You have given them each gifts and “things” money could never buy. Thank you for sharing this wonderful gift of your family.

[@11plus3]

Your family is so precious!!!! The little girls in their LHP dresses. Priceless. The love your kids have for each other. Priceless. Judah surprising the kids wrecked me. Great job mom and dad. Raises amazing humans. Love this family. Thank goodness we all know Judah is safe. Praise Jesus

[@susanhays5691]

My heart swelled with love when Judah walked into the house. Love was so evident in the faces of all the children and the parents too upon seeing Judah. 1 Corinthians 13:13 I've been praying for the safety of the whole church planting team after hearing about the devastating earthquake. Blessing to all!

[@moneysports1793]

I love how all the kids got 3 presents each not 20. They know the real meaning of Christmas ❤

[@carriejames5038]

Yah compared to other KZbin families who give their children like ten or more presents that's just spoiled

[@moneysports1793]

@@carriejames5038 Yeah and they think that is normal. Setting kids up to fail.

[@tamaraliscia3408]

​@@carriejames5038I am of the belief that every family decides how to celebrate Christmas, including how many gifts to buy. I have never felt the need to criticize any family for the number of gifts they choose to buy.

[@tamaraliscia3408]

​@@moneysports1793Each family has the right to make their own decisions of how to celebrate Christmas and how many gifts to buy. Buying more gifts does not guarantee failure, nor does buying 3 gifts for each child mean the family is "poor". Though, criticisms of the number of gifts purchased and given, is seen as jealousy and insecurity.

[@moneysports1793]

@@tamaraliscia3408 WOW. I totally disagree. ❤️🙏. But thanks for your reply. God Bless. I never said they are poor or rich. It’s very silly. Christmas presents piled under the tree isn’t the real meaning of Christmas.

[@kellymadison3351]

I have been thinking of Judah all morning, hoping that he and his team were okay after hearing about the earthquake and all that is happening in Japan! And then to be watching this, I started crying immediately! I must have said out loud, “Judah’s home!” because my daughter yelled down the hall, “ Who is Judah?” 😁 This video made me so happy! Happy New Year!

[@KatherineWalden]

Hahaha!! i have caught myself cheering outloud as I've watched videos :)

[@joyful8072]

The look of shock, joy and surprise on everyone's faces when Judah arrived brought tears to me. So precious.

[@teresag-75]

Sarah, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop stressing about the ‘mess’. I don’t care if you have a few things on your table. Why? Because it means you’re a real human with real life and obviously lots of children. Judah - I’m sure you already knew how loved you are, but that greeting from your siblings must have made you feel so special. Sarah and Solo, you have raised some amazing humans and I hope you are so proud of yourselves (the love they have for each other is just so pure). Anyway, I hope 2024 brings you ALL nothing but peace, love and happiness. I can’t wait to see what this years brings to you (& your online family as well 😊)

[@ziondaniel7]

I cried when I saw Judah come home. What a blessing and a sweet family surprise 💗💗💗... Thankful he is safe and with family. Saw coverage of the earthquake in Japan last night and was praying for his safety, then I saw this video and felt so happy 💗💗💗🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I loved the great surprise everyone got when Judah walked in! 💜I was ugly crying with joy that he got to go home and spend Christmas with you all. My son came for Christmas for the first time in over ten years. I was a blubbering mess and he's here for three weeks. He tries to come up once a year in the summer but this year he surprised us with an extra trip. 💜 I hope everyone had a happy, healthy, Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! 🎉

[@zinavanlandingham5753]

I don’t even know where to begin…First off - you & Solo make some beautiful children! Not only are they beautiful on the outside but they all seem to have beautiful hearts as well! I loved seeing the younger girls in their prairie dresses! brought back memories of my grand-nieces & their LHOTP phase. They always got Big parties every 5 yrs so on one of their 10th birthday’s it was mandatory that EVERYONE dress the part - FUN! It blessed me so to see Belle crying when Judah came in - Sweet! Blessings & Hugs! 🧡🌻

[@CharityS-Minnesota]

My daddy passed away unexpectedly & suddenly Christmas Eve night…. Had to jump in a plane at 5am Christmas morning to be with our Mama. Just got home to Minnesota. So Christmas didn’t happen for our family. Now having to plan his service etc… Sarah & Solo, I am very thankful that you chose to share your Christmas with us!! It was so wonderful to see the kids & then Judah’s surprise 🥰 it was an amazing loving distraction that I absolutely needed!! Happy New year to all of you!!

Thank you for being so normal and the not allowing the current world views to ruin the joy. A joy to watch! I know Judah was home for Christmas but if they went back, I hope Judah and his friends are safe from the earth quake in Japan.

[@Tennesseegurly]

I have cried twice during this video. Seeing the kids opening presents and Judah! I have family members going through horrible times with young kids. Their mom is not doing well atm with substance abuse and mental health issues. She didn't put up a tree and gave them nothing for Christmas. We saw them later that day and they just seemed so sad. So seeing your babies opening presents by the tree reminded me of them. Please pray for them. They were thrilled with the presents and love we gave them at least. It's just a really bad situation.
