5 Days In, This Guy Has Just Won 2017 (And Our Collective Hearts)

Sometimes the Internet is a thing of true beauty and big heavy sighs of adorableness.

Yesterday was such a day.

When siblings Grant and Iris Kessler arrived at the hospital where their older sister Olivia was about to give birth to her first baby – a little girl – the youngest of the Kessler siblings were excited to become and aunt and uncle for the very first time.

The tweet – unsurprisingly – went viral quickly and has since been close to 130,000 times. Again, not surprising, as this is clearly the cutest thing you’ll see in forever.

In an interview with Buzzfeed, Iris said this was a “totally classic” move by her brother. “He’s always the type to show up to things dressed up, or bring a cake for no reason.”

Now, as for more adorable, how is this:
