It has been said that a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. But what about children?

Our tiny humans sometimes refuse to eat a delicious home-cooked meal in favor of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or their favorite fast-food meal.

The only thing 4-year-old Natalie Grove from Rockford, Michigan, wanted for Christmas this year was a Taco Bell gift card.

Natalie’s love for Taco Bell apparently runs deep, as evidenced by the video below.

When Natalie tore open the small package, her face lit up with delight before she began screaming at the top of her lungs, “TACO BELL GIFT CARD!!!

She jumped up to say “Thank You” to Santa with a huge grin on her face that said all her Christmas dreams had come true.

They even sent her some “swag” to show appreciation, which Natalie’s mother, Sarah Grove, shared on her Facebook page.

Grove told WXMI at the time that her daughter is turning five in January and wants to have her birthday party at — you guessed it — Taco Bell.

The fast-food chain was happy to oblige and invited their biggest fan to celebrate her birthday with tacos, balloons and a special birthday taco hat, as shown in a video posted by CBS News.

When asked what she wants to be when she grows up, Natalie responded, “A Taco Bell person because I like being at Taco Bell.”

It certainly seems like this sweet girl has a future at the company — even if it is just as their cutest fan.

Happy birthday, Natalie! We hope the little things in life, like tacos, continue to bring you joy.
