Loan Le and Tuan Tran already have a Christmas baby with their son Anthony who was born Dec. 25, 2008.

The couple added one more holiday-themed birthday to the family when daughter Julianne arrived just after midnight Friday, Jan. 1, at Woodwinds Hospital.

Julianne Anh Tuyet Tran was officially born at 12:23 a.m. and represents the the first birth at Woodwinds Hospital in 2010. She measured at 6 pounds, 9 ounces and 19 inches long.

Le and Tran had plans for a family New Year's Eve gathering at their home in Woodbury that were cut short as the family instead spent the night in Woodbury's only maternity ward.
