Cookies For Santa

Riker hasn’t fully grasped the concept of Christmas yet.
He knows what a Christmas tree is and will point out all the Christmas lights…
but ask him about Santa and he’ll give you a blank stare.
So in an effort to help Riker understand who Santa is, we decided to bake cookies to leave out on Christmas Eve.

Fun fact: the Grier’s do not own cookie cutters so we used a Halloween cup to cut out our Christmas cookies

Fun fact: Riker refused to pick up the cookie himself because it was “messy”…yet he didn’t care when his face was messy!

And where was Olivia during all this cookie baking?
Chillin’ on the couch.
Looking adorable.

Fun fact: when we put out a plate of cookies and glass of milk for Santa before bed tonight, Riker had a major meltdown…
he was not happy that he didn’t get to eat the cookies himself.
I don’t think he’s a fan of Santa.
