Mom tells kids they are visiting a friend. Her children had no idea they were walking into their new home

Some dreams are shared by the whole family, making them even more special when they come true. That’s exactly what happened for a mom and her two kids, who had always wished for a big house where they could each have their own room. When that dream became a reality, the mom, Megan Michele—who goes by @meganmichele__ on TikTok—planned a heartwarming surprise for her children. Their overjoyed reaction to seeing their new home was captured in a now-viral video.

"Told my kids that we were visiting a friend but surprised them with a new home," the mom wrote in the text overlay of the video. The kids walked into the house, unaware that it was their new home but looked quite excited to be there. There were a couple of gift bags kept on the kitchen counter and their mom confirmed that it was for them. Then came the big reveal: "Guess what, guys? This is our new home," she announced. Their reactions were priceless—both gasped in shock. "You are lying," one of them exclaimed. "I am so serious," the mom reassured them, as the older child took off to explore their new space.

The younger child quickly followed, prompting the mom to chase after them, laughing, "Wait, where are you going?" The house was filled with giggles as excitement took over. "You got your own rooms," Michele announced. "Where is my room?" the younger one asked eagerly. The mom pointed to his new space, while the older sibling danced around in joy, thrilled by all the extra room. She walked them through their bedrooms, showed them the loft, and explained how they’d use the space. Then came another surprise—a backyard. As soon as she mentioned it, the kids took off running in excitement. "Wait for me!" the mom called, laughing, as she tried to keep up. "The backyard is back here!" she added, realizing they had run in the wrong direction.

Michele pulled back the blinds, revealing a huge backyard, and her kids immediately ran outside in excitement. "Are you guys happy?" she asked. "Yeah!" they replied in unison. "We got a big house now!" the older child, Camden, exclaimed, his voice filled with emotion. Noticing this, his mom gently checked if he was okay. Meanwhile, the younger child, Ryan, asked, "Are we staying here?" Michele smiled and explained, "No, we have to go back and pack up everything and you are helping." Ryan did a little happy dance, while Camden rubbed his palms together, ready for the next step. "Alright, let's do this!" Michele declared as the video came to an end. Viewers flooded the comments section, celebrating the family's heartwarming milestone.

We heard conversations that children shouldn’t hear." @friendofthedeepwoods commented, "Congratulations on your new home! Your family is so beautiful. I love the way you all communicate with each other. It’s so obvious that home is gonna be FULL of love." @mhagapumeza remarked, "Single mom of two boys here, may this blessing locate me. Your home is beautiful and your kids are so grateful. Congratulations momma."
