Easter 2009 "Norris Style"

Easter has always been somewhat of an interesting holiday in our family. For as long as I can remember this holiday has always involved outdoor games, teams, winners, losers, cheaters... Grandpa losing track of points, and the infamous Egg Toss.

This Easter we celebrated at Patty and Craig's home "out in the county" in Casa Grande. They own a really great home with tons of land, horses, hay stacks, with some great views of the mountains.
Every year Grandpa and Grandpa split us up on teams to compete in a variety of competitions to name a few:

Bowling
Pitch the Penny
Trivia
Toilet Paper Race ( this was newly added this year and might I say tons of fun)
Egg Toss


Every year we compete for some awesome prizes ( not really...usually it's a candy bar) This particular year Patty and Craig's neighbors had a bunch of adorable puppies that needed homes. As much as I wanted to take this little girl home with me ... Justin talked me out it-deciding our condo is too small for a big dog and a wiener dog. Isn't she precious???

The funny thing is .... nobody ever really pays attention, and most of time doesn't even know who's team their on and who they should be cheering for.

Grandma Jane loves to help Grandpa referee. She's always there to tell the boys "not to be so rough!"
Tommy takes the bowling competition very seriously as he does play weekly with his bowling league- you'd think he' d be a better bowler.
After the games, lunch, and Great Grandmas famous homemade cookies... Grandpa is exhausted.... another fun Norris Easter!!!
