This is the heart-warming moment two young children opened an early Christmas present to discover it was their Navy hero dad back early from the front lines.
Little Alfie and Lily were shepherded downstairs by mum Ruth Stevens and confronted with an enormous wrapped object brought in the night by ‘an elf’.
After the two wonder how such a large gift made its way into their living room, they tear into the wrapping paper with gusto and break into huge smiles when they see their father – Naval engineer Scott Lee Stevens – underneath.
Here’s the heartwarming video. Gotta love those smiles!
