A Oregon grandfather wanted to do something extra special for his grandchildren this Christmas.

“Every year, we make a big deal and every week coming into Christmas, advent, every week we give them a gift,’ Doug Hayes, who is a grandfather to 10 grandchildren according to WTHR. A family member recorded a video of Hayes showing his grandchildren their gift. In the video you can see the surprise of their face as they ask “Is that it? You got a bus!”

Hayes purchased the bus so he can drive the kids to school every morning.

“I thought, ‘gee whiz, maybe there’s some way that I can give them a memory that will last all their life,'” Hayes said.

The kids attend small Christian school that doesn’t have school buses, so when they saw him drive up in one, they were pretty excited.

“It was a big surprise,” one grandkid explained.

“I was really stunned. I never expected him to buy a bus,” Hayes’ grandson Christian Hayes said.

The bus is named “Grandfather Express.” The kids cannot wait to hop on board for their first ride to school in January.

“I think my friends are all gonna be stunned,” Christian said. Hayes hopes his gift will create memories they will never forget.

“Well, there is a sense of pride and excitement, I thought, ‘Who does this? This is crazy,’” Hayes said. “So, we’re so excited about it, and it’s something that we are hopeful they’ll carry into their lives.”
