Chestnut Festival Reunion - Oct. 2008

With unanimous agreement that Grandma Betty does deliver "PIE WE CAN BELIEVE IN" the entire family (every member) -- for the first time in more than a decade -- gathered at the 37th Annual Chestnut Festival, October 3-5, in St. Francisville, Illinois.

The Family was introduced to two new members -- Sophie and Annabelle Wyatt -- and agreed to accept commitments from two others - Caitlin and Ian, fiances of Aaron and Stacia, respectively.

Also celebrated were the birthdays of Megan, Abby and Sophia.
