Start the year as you mean to go on, with a game of Cranium on Dads birthday.
 |
This would become a pretty familier site as we played at just about every occasion for the year, in this case at our Anit-Valentines party at Joni's parent house.
March brought yet another house move, but a very successful one, into a place that would become 'home' better than any of the previous places.
March also brought a trip to London for Joni and I, to see a David Hockney exhibition, which neither of us were particularly impressed with and the Design of the Year awards 2012, which we were very impressed with.
We got to break in our new home with a fantastic House-warming party with all our friends, and Tris brought fireworks, making him my new favourite (and pissing off the new neighbours within the first month!)
The conservatory quickly played host to several birthday parties, including Fears...
...and Tims on the same night.
In June Joni & I got to spend a morning playing at being Zombies in Nottingham. It was cold, wet, miserable and it took hours to get that syrup out my hair and my underwear It was also the most fun I have ever had at 4am in the centre of town.
Speaking of Town, June was also the month that the Olympic torch came to Nottingham, marking the start of Olympic-fever which would take over most of my summer.
We did manage a few BBQ's which had a strange tendency to end...
....with this man's bottom.
The sun did manage to come out for about a week, and Joni & I caught it perfectly with our little holiday down south.
In July Amy came to visit, so we marked the occasion with a game of cranium and lots of beer, of course!
During full Olypic-fever season Stephen & I took a trip to London and joined in with a crowed of thousands celebrating as Mo Farah won the 5000m.
August is also the month to celebrate Chloe's birthday, an occasion summed up by this picture perfectly. If you don't find it hilarious don't worry, no one else did either!
Chloe also got her first flat this year and the girls went round to celebrate in the only way we know how - with Pornstar Martinis!
Stephen also had a birthday party this year, which he celebrated the only way he knows how. In a Onese.
In October we said goodbye to my sisters unmarried life in true style...
...and welcomed Ben to the family in (slightly classier) style too.
We even managed a couple of good poker nights, especially when we started using chocolate coins instead of chips.
Christmas brought the purchase of hundreds of lights and the joys of figuring out where to put them all.
And ended with mountains of food which we will all be eating at New Years.
And so we say good bye to a long and changeable year. These photos actually miss out some of the most important things to happen this year, but they sum-up all the most fun things.
