mirthful

Laughing with delight

Mirthful means full of mirth—cheerful, jolly, given to laughter.

A mirthful person laughs easily; a mirthful occasion produces genuine amusement: The room erupted in mirthful laughter.

The word carries a warmth that synonyms like "amused" lack, suggesting heartfelt rather than polite enjoyment.
