- [Both Children] Me.

- Me.

- No, me.

- Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.

- Yes!

- My name is Toby, and I'm eight years old.

- My name's Akyra, and I'm nine years old.

- [Toby] We're brother and sister.

- I only get to see my dad a little

because he's in the Army.

He is far away.

- Being in the military is hard,

so we usually see him four, five times a year.

- You can't really spend Christmas,

because you have to fight the bad guys.

- Brook is my friend.

I want to surprise her because her dad's

in the military.

- He can't come for Christmas.

- Brook's dad is going to be gone through the holidays.

This is the first Christmas without her dad.

I know it's going to be hard on her.

Kids don't get to have a lot of friends,

because he have move around a lot.

She was telling me that Brook was going to remember this,

they would be friends forever now.

- What I want to do for Brook,

I want to put snow in the sky

and also put snow on the floor, so it's double snow.

- My kids have never seen the snow,

so it's going to be something unique for all three of them.

- Bring the snow!

- For Brook!

- [Both Kids] Snow, snow, snow, cool!

- The tree looks so cool.

- I made a snowball!

I never made one before.

Oh my God, that's cold.

Bring the snow!

- Surprise!

- This makes it really special for Brook.

This is her first holiday without her dad here.

It's nice to give her something special.

- It's good to bring good memories when the dad is gone.

- It warms our heart.

- [Akyra] Cookie!

- They're my best friends.

- Hi Brook, I wanted to let you know that I miss you,

and I love you.

I'm really gonna miss hanging the lights with you

and being there in the morning when you open your presents.

I want you to know that I'm so proud of you.

- I feel like we don't deserve it,

because we just feel like we're like a tiny family.

There's people across the world defending our freedoms,

while we get to play in the snow and eat cookies.

- You do deserve this.

- [Brook] Snow angel!

- Good morning Akyra and Jr.

Surprise, it's Daddy.

I want to thank you guys for showing your courage,

to be strong, while Dad is away.

And for showing your motivation

to other military family and kid.

- There's so many soldiers over seas that people forget.

The simple things are free that you can do

to bring smiles.

- [Moms And Kids] Merry Christmas.
