A family in Lancaster, Penn. is sharing the special moment their three kids got their first peek at their dad’s holiday decoration job. 

The backstory:

Amanda Lewis told Storyful, a social media video licensing agency, that her husband had spent the entire day decorating outside the house with Christmas lights.

She said they kept the blinds closed the entire time so the kids couldn’t see.

They exclaim, "Wow!" and "Whoa!" before one of them comments, "That’s why you were out here for so long!" 

They continue to show their amazement before asking if they can go run and play under the hoop lights. 

Even their baby sister appears mesmerized by the display, letting out a little "Whoa" when asked what she thought.
