Santa's special delivery: Juliet Noelle
BOISE - The Thralls have always wanted a baby girl. They've got three Boys: Lance, 8, Ryan, 5 and Max, 16 months. Their wish came true early on Christmas morning as Ellie and Troy Thrall welcomed the newest addition to their family at Saint Alphonsus Medical Center.

"This is the ultimate christmas present," said Ellie.

Her dad compared Juliet's first day to his other children's.

"She's mellow compared to her brothers," he said ."Hardly crying at all - very very mellow."

Their boys spent the night at their grandparents and were a little anxious Santa would have trouble finding them.

"They were worried," their mom said. "Asking: how's he gonna know?"

Their Grandpa Rodney reported good news, however:

"He knew the way," he said. "He knew where they was at. It's great to have a little Christmas baby around."

The oldest boy, Lance, told 2News he's going to have to be a little more careful with a baby sister than his baby brothers.

"I can't wrestle the baby like I wrestle ryan," Lance said.

Troy talked about finally welcoming a daughter into his family.

"If it was another boy I'd be a little more comfortable but with a girl it's new for me but she's a little sweetheart," he said.
