suprise

This morning, August 7th, on the show Candice was in a festive mood because it was my birthday!! I honestly think that Candice was more excited for this day than I was. In any case, watch what happened when it came time to blow out the candles on my cookie cake.

We’ve all seen the heartwarming videos of soldiers stationed overseas surprising their children stateside with early returns home. And that’s how this video of Capt. Cherissa Jackson, who had been deployed in Afghanistan, begins, with mom surprising her daughters Anita and Ashley at a Gaitherburg, Maryland Kentucky Fried Chicken. But then it gets even more touching.

A soldier dad from Kentucky gave his two sons a birthday surprise last week that they’ll likely never forget. Capt. Nate Burgess, who had just returned home after serving in Afghanistan for the past year, decided to surprise his two sons on their birthday. So, he wrapped himself up as a life-sized G.I. Joe birthday present and gave himself as a gift.
