Dec. 23 2015, Updated 3:20 p.m. ET
After spending ten months behind bars, Teresa Giudice was released (four months early) from Danbury Correctional Facility , making her way home to reunite with family following a primp-session for the big day.
With husband Joe, who will be serving a 41-month sentence upon Teresa's return, ready for her arrival in the garage as their four daughters anxiously waited inside the family home, the 43-year-old certainly received a warm welcome at their Towaco residence.
A brand new Lexus wrapped in a giant red bow was also waiting in the family's driveway.
Teresa's lawyer James J. Leonard Jr., who drove her from prison at 5:00 a.m. this morning, gave the inside scoop on the reality star's return.
"It was very emotional," he shared of Teresa's reunion with daughters Gia, 14, Gabriella, 11, Milania, 10, and Audriana, 6. "It was a private moment but it was very emotional, very powerful and it was something to see."

"Gia was up early this morning and then the younger ones started to get up," he continued. "I think they got a little bit of sleep. I got no sleep. Teresa says that she didn't sleep at all. Joe slept a little bit. I think everyone is going to sleep well tonight, myself included."
Leonard also shared a special message from the Real Housewives of New Jersey star.
"'Merry Christmas. Happy New Year....all of you should go be with your families and your loved ones,'" he relayed on her behalf.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, even though Teresa is no longer locked up, she will still be under the direct supervision of the Bureau of Prisons as she serves the remainder of her two-month sentence under house arrest.
As for Christmas, the reality star will spend her holiday with her brother, Joe Gorga, 36, sister-in-law Melissa, 36, husband Joe and their daughters.
