When Olivia and Spencer Gillam posed for a family picture, the sisters had no idea their holiday wish was about to come true.

Justin Hodgins, a first-class seaman with the Canadian Navy, is very close with his little sisters. So it wasn't easy on any of them when he was away for two and a half years.

Olivia and Spencer's dearest wish was to have their big brother home for the holidays. At first, Justin didn't think it was possible. But in the end, he got the go-ahead.

Watch the emotional reunion of a big brother and his little sisters.

Their parents didn't tell the girls about Justin's homecoming, secretly picking him up from the airport and hiding him behind the kitchen counter from where he photobombed his sisters to spring the ultimate holiday surprise.
