Merry Christmas from Virginia

We have had a great day.  We had church at 9, so we just opened stockings (in which Steve had socks and Betty had tights- stockings in their stockings!) and 1 present before we left.  Church was awesome; lots of congregation singing (7 songs).


Once home it was into the presents.  Betty went through hers and the ones for all the kids and Iris'.  Oscar would open something he loved and not want to open anything else.  Steve surprised me with half of my wish list, including a Le Creuset French oven that I have wanted for 5 years.  I got him some ninja cookie mugs that I saw on Pinterest and found on Etsy.

 
Oscar got some cars and trucks and a phone.  Betty got a LeapPad and some movies and a bath robe.  They all got these cute Disney stuffed characters.
Christmas is so amazing when you are a parent to little kids. 
We love and miss you all and hope that you had a very merry Christmas too.

Great pictures, great post, great folks. What's a "Le Creuset French Oven"? I might need one if only I knew what it was.

Was the Le Creuset French oven named after a famous French detective? The Dad

Is a French oven a cousin to a Dutch oven? The Dad

A French oven is like a Dutch oven, but the cast iron is coated in enamel and costs about 10 times as much. But you don't have to season it and it is still nonstick. My mom has had hers for over 30 years.

What a fun Christmas! Our oven here is alllmost as sweet as yours Emma. The temperature gauge is broken so we get to guess what temperature it is set at, yay. Betty is lucky...opening gifts for 3 people! I would kill for that opportunity.
