Army Dad Back After 9 Month’s Service Surprises Daughters With A Little Help From Santa

Father-of-two Trent Baskerville was returning from a nine month deployment when his wife had the idea to give his daughters the best Christmas surprise ever — their dad.

Trent told ClarksvilleNow how excited he was: “It couldn’t be a better feeling. There’s no words for it. I’m just very anxious to see them.”

Trent’s wife took the unsuspecting girls to see Santa in their local mall.

Santa told them to close their eyes and wait while he got a VERY special surprise for them.

Trent snuck out and Santa told the girls to go ahead and open their eyes.

Oldest daughter Jordan screamed, “Daddy!” and leaped into Trent’s arms.

Then Trent enjoyed a heartwarming reunion with his whole family.

Jordan even gave Santa a hug to thank him for bringing her daddy home.

Asked what she thought of the set-up, Jordan replied, “It was a joke… but I still love him!”

For the full heartwarming experience, you can watch the video of the family reunion below.
