Cue the awwws!

Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco have released a photo of their newborn twins, and the family couldn't look happier! The Christmas-themed pictures show little Princess Gabriella dressed in pink while Prince Jacques wears baby blue. Can you say cuuuute?!

Although they look like they just want to hang out and nap, we have to say they're dressed quite impressively. They are royalty, after all! The outfits were inspired by what Albert's late mother, Princess Grace, chose for her baby shoots.

The twins were born two weeks early on Dec. 10 via cesarean section, but the new mom told Paris Match that she and the babies are recovering well.

"They're growing each day and gaining weight," she told the weekly. "It's quite a classic procedure in this situation to be monitored in the hospital for a few more days."

Gabriella gets to take the older sister title, as she was born only two minutes before her little brother! Although we're getting a sneak peek at the tots now, the world will officially meet them Jan. 7 when they make their first public appearance.

Fortunately for Charlene, she was able to have her husband by her side in the delivery room! He told the weekly that while the entire experience was "wonderful," his and his wife's priorities have changed since their babies' arrival.

"I was present in the operating room and assisted at their birth. I helped my wife as I could—that's to say, by my presence. It was wonderful. I don't have the words to describe how it felt then or the deep joy I feel now," he said. "Having children—and twins at that—is an extraordinary experience. It's unique. And it's a challenge for us as parents."

Now, the father will be "devoting" himself to his new bundle of joys!

Congratulations to the happy couple!
