Who knew Kristen Bell was so emotional?

The “House of Lies” actress stopped by “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” with the cutest home video, and an even cuter story.

On the morning of her 31st birthday, her fiance, actor Dax Shepard, wanted to surprise her with a gift. Her reaction was caught on video, which she shared with Ellen.

Unlike her 30th birthday which was “Hunger Games” themed, Bell was surprised with a special guest for her 31st: a sloth.

“The day of my birthday, we’re sitting in the living room and I hear a knock at the door. [Dax Shepard, her fiance] says, ‘Your present is here. Why don’t you go grab the dogs and go in the back room?’” Bell told DeGeneres. “I had no context for knowing what it was, but I grabbed the dogs and walk into the back room of the house and I was immediately overcome and I thought, ‘There’s a sloth near. There’s a sloth here; it’s close; it’s going to happen.’”

Bell is a huge lover of sloths. Earlier in January 2012, she told The Insider that she googles Baby Sloths multiple times a week The actress added: “I’ve been obsessed with sloths for as long as I can remember. They must be my spirit animal or something. There’s nothing cuter than a baby sloth … OK, maybe a slow Loris. Maybe. On a good day.”

So when she sensed the sloth was coming for her 31st birthday, Bell said she didn’t know how to process its arrival since she had been waiting for the day she’d meet one for so long. Then, the actress bravely showed the home video footage of her crying on her bed, unable to cope with such a momentous occasion in a sloth lover’s life.

Considering how amazing this video is, let’s hope Sherpard brings in a slow loris for Bell’s 32nd birthday.

Love it!

PS: How cute are Dax and Kristen?

Kristen Bell is engaged to Dax Shepard, her rep confirms to UsMagazine.com exclusively.

Shepard, 35, proposed over the holidays, a source tells Us.

Bell, 29, debuted her ring on the red carpet of the Grammys Sunday night.

The couple first stepped out publicly in January 2008.

Bell detailed her perfect date night with Shepard in the November issue of Women’s Health.

“There is almost nothing, barring a natural disaster, that I would let eat into my time at home, playing Scrabble with Dax or talking to my girlfriends,” she said.

She joked that they were competitive while filming romantic comedy When in Rome, currently in theaters.

“We were trying to one-up each other,” she said. “That’s what we do at home, too. It’s like, ‘Wait – watch me do this funny bit.’ ‘No, watch me do this funny bit!.”

The secret to their relationship?

“I’ve learned the necessity for healthy communication. How important it is to talk about your deepest, darkest fears and feelings,” she says. “Your partner should hear your most embarrassing insecurities, because once you say them out loud, you’ve created a safe zone.”

And “a snuggle party can fix anything — it’s true,” she added.
