It's a jolly holiday at Snooki's house!

There's a lot of excitement going down at the home of Jionni and Nicole LaValle (née Polizzi) tonight, what with the newlyweds hosting their first Christmas Eve dinner as a married couple and having a baby girl who's celebrating her first Noël.

"My kids are pretty awesome," Snooki captioned an Instagram pic of 3-month-old Giovanna Marie, who of course is wearing a "My First Christmas" red onesie, and 2-year-old Lorenzo. The siblings even have matching personalized pajama pants.

Giovanna's pjs were just one of several yuletide-themed ensembles, however; her mom also had her in a Rudolph sweater and candy cane-striped tights earlier in the week!

So in love with this little squirrel ??????????

After snapping some pics of the kids, it was time for Snooki to get hte house ready for her guests' arrival. The former Jersey Shore star set a formal table for 10 with a twist—lottery tickets as party favors!

"Hosting Christmas Eve! We got gold chargers, a candy cane & scratch off," she wrote.

Meanwhile, props to Jionni for helping out in the kitchen—and Snooki rewarded his efforts with a shout-out as he prepped the holiday punch.

Obviously not having to worry that she was going to spoil the surprise for her 2-year-old, Snooki revealed yesterday what she and Jionni (or, er, Santa) got for Lorenzo this year.

"So I asked Lorenzo what he wanted for [Christmas] and he said Mickey Mouse but I didn't get him any Mickey Mouse because he has too many Mickey Mouse items," she explained on her blog. "But he's been obsessed with cars recently so I got him tons of cars, an indoor trampoline and an indoor playground…

"I think that pretty much makes up for not getting him Mickey Mouse, right!? And then he's obsessed with Frozen too so I got him some Olaf stuff. So Lorenzo is spoiled this year. I didn't get him too much stuff but I got him enough to where he is going to be excited!"

Lucky Lorenzo! As for the rest of the fam...

"It's Giovanna's first Christmas and she's only three months, so she doesn't know what's going on… so I didn't really get her anything," Snooki explained. And "for Jionni, I got him tools because that's what he wanted." (It does appear that Jionni has been a good kid this year...)

Merry Christmas to the whole family!
