WASHINGTON COUNTY, Wis. (CNN/WITI) - A little girl in Wisconsin got her Christmas wish early this year.

"What would you like for Christmas?" Santa asked.

"My daddy to come home," said Brielle Olk.

Moments later, 5-year-old Brielle was surprised with just what she wished for. Her father, U.S. Army Caption Steve Olk, walked through the door.

He had just wrapped up his tour of duty in Afghanistan that began in February. His arrival home in Wisconsin was three days ahead of schedule.

The Indy 500 racers fought for the Pole position Saturday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
