Todd and Julie’s children made several attempts for their release over the years. Savannah, 27 — who became the legal guardian of her younger siblings Chloe, 12, and Grayson, 19 — told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview after her parents returned home, “It has been amazing. It’s still just kind of … it doesn’t feel real.”

The Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley podcast host continued, “We are just so grateful and ready to kind of start getting back to normal life, obviously, the best we can. Everything’s a whirlwind right now, and it’s kind of hard to live a normal life with how things are right now, but we’ll get there.”
