Still reeling with excitement over the big Full House announcement? Don’t worry, the cast is too!

Candace Cameron Bure and Andrea Barber – who played the infamous pals D.J. Tanner and Kimmy Gibbler on the original series – Tweeted just how giddy they are to be best buds again on the Netflix spin-off Fuller House, which was announced Monday.

“Are you ready to be best friends again @candacebure?” Barber, 38, wrote on Twitter on Tuesday.

And her other half’s response? “We never stopped,” Bure, 39, replied, signed with heart emojis.

John Stamos, who starred as suave funnyman Uncle Jesse on the ’90s family comedy, announced the big news on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday night.

“We’ve been working on this for many, many years,” he told the late-night host.

The new 13-episode show will premiere on Netflix next year, and Stamos will produce and guest-star. He explained that it will begin with a one-hour reunion and then transition to a spin-off series featuring D.J. Tanner (Bure) and her three kids, along with her sister Stephanie (played by Jodie Sweetin) and neighbor Kimmy (Barber). Guest appearances by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Bob Saget, Dave Coulier and Lori Loughlin are still up in the air.

The actor, 51, shared a few old snapshots from his days on the ABC sitcom to celebrate the big reunion:

And devoted fans also went berserk on social media. Full House starting trending shortly after Stamos shared the news:
