Looking at Saturn

Good evening. The other night I found Saturn. Very proud of myself I rushed in and made my wife and children come and have a look. They were like "oh, I see. Very nice". Then went back inside. Their loss.

Anyway, my question is:

My scope is 4" skywatcher, 900mm, on eq2 mount. When I was looking, it just looked like a white ball with one white ring around it. I can't remember what size eyepiece I had in (maybe 12mm) with 2x Barlow. Is that normal viewing for Saturn? If it is, that's cool and I'm still happy with what I saw. If not, please help.
