I Was Spoiled

I said I'd post about my Christmas gifts, and I think I was spoiled this year. Here are some of the things I received from my boys and from Santa Claus.

A cobalt blue Le Creuset dutch oven. I am so excited to cook with this.

I guess Santa thought I should have more to match my dutch oven so he also brought these Le Creuset casserole dishes.

A Coach wallet. I knew about this one though because it was part of our black Friday shopping that I mentioned a while ago. The PX was having a special sale, and we got a really good deal. I am so happy to finally be able to use it.

I was very surprised by a Keurig Elite coffee maker under the tree. Now to those that know me this gift may seem a little odd. I do not really drink coffee. I do however drink tea and hot cocoa. I will sometimes drink specialty coffee drinks too. I bet during the next deployment I may end up with a coffee habit out of necessity though. I cannot wait to try some of the k-cups. Maybe I'll review this product sometime in the future too.

Other non-pictured gifts included a New England Patriots jersey as a ploy to make me want to watch football. I also received some lotions and a digital coin counter. (Right now I have $11.80 in coins!)

So as you can see I got way more than I ever deserved. Pat figured he should spoil me now in case we do not get to celebrate together next year. I only wish he had told me this before I had only a few things for him. What were some of the things you had under your tree?

p.s. Happy 300th post to me. I'm sure there will be many more to come.
