She has loved watching @caged_catalyst since his first pre-season game! #seahawks A video posted by Kim Ayers Anderson (@kimmers106) on Dec 25, 2015 at 8:42am PST

The "kid freaking out over gift" genre will be a video staple of Christmas forever, but one little girl got the surprise of a lifetime after getting her Thomas Rawls jersey.

The Seahawks running back was placed on injured reserve a little over a week ago, meaning the holiday season is especially tough this year -- but everything changed when Rawls saw Sophie lose it when she unwrapped his jersey. Suddenly, he had a Christmas mission: Find the girl who adores him and brighten her day even more. He did.

If you look closely you can see the tears on Sophie's face. This was simply an amazing moment for her -- but as Rawls said on his Instagram account, it meant a lot to him, too.

"Thank you Sophie for helping me get out of my bed when I felt I had no energy, your video gave me so much life and I'm truly grateful of the opportunity of meeting you!! Your tears of joy were astonishing. When holding you our bodies shook with nervousness, we both squeezed even harder and that feeling..is a feeling We'll never forget!!"

This is just awesome.
