Monroe and Moroccan Cannon’s Very Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from Dembabies!

And, judging from the family photos, it was a very merry Christmas, indeed.

As her twin brother Moroccan Scott — in a cute costume — smiles for the camera in one shot, Monroe cuddles up with mom Mariah Carey and Santa Claus for a sweet picture-perfect memory in another.

But while the big jolly man in the red suit was oh-so cheerful, 8-month-old Monroe seemed less than thrilled with her visitor.

Dad Nick Cannon, on the other hand? Well, he must have made the nice list this year, as the festively dressed singer and a surprised Santa are seen getting silly on the couch.

Before bidding the babies farewell, Santa even took time out to fulfill his duties: downing his milk and cookies.

Until next year, Santa!

Mariah Carey: My Son Is the 'Life of the Party'

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's twins, Moroccan and Monroe, are less than a year old, but according to the pop star, they're already relatable.

"It's so funny ... there's a picture of the two of us together and we look identical and we have the identical smile," Carey says in a new interview special, Mariah Carey: On The Record with Fuse, which airs Sunday (8 p.m ET). "I recognize the joy that's in him. There's something that was always free about me, it just got stifled as things grew in my career."

The slimmed-down singer adds that if you walked up to her son, whom she calls "the life of the party," he would "just smile and be your best friend."

As for adorable twin sister, Monroe, she's got a bright personality of her own, too.

"We have Miss Monroe Cannon – that's what I call her, Miss Monroe," Carey says. "She's very dainty and she holds her own bottle. She's Miss Independent, definitely Miss Independent."
