WATCH: Parents surprise daughters with adopted baby under Christmas tree

It was an early Christmas surprise for three sisters from Dallas, Texas.

Parents Courtney and Steve Solstad brought home their new baby boy through adoption last week and surprised their girls Chloe, 10, Emma, 8, and Maci, 6.

“The girls knew nothing about Nathan until this,” Courtney wrote 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!”

“I’m going to wet my pants!” says Chloe as Emma quietly wipes away her happy tears. Maci squeals and jumps up and down when she finds out the baby is a boy.
