Chestnut Raccoons
This is the first family we got through the collector token scheme. It was a joint family so we divided them between us. I had Pansy, Grover and Amy and Martha had Durwood, Myrtle and Ricky. The family halves lived in our two Pony and Traps. Grover spent a lot of his time cleaning the chimney of the Deluxe Family House I think mainly because he had a fluffy tail!
Many years later we wanted to use up our collecting tokens and the only thing we wanted was a second family to complete the halves we already had. However they were a bit mismatched with our original ones and just felt a bit wrong. Fortunately we acquired yet another Chestnut family as it was a free gift with multiple purchases at the Sylvanian shop. So now we both had a complete matching new family and the old ones reverted to living in two halves. However the new ones also lived in the Pony and Traps with the old ones. It was a bit of a squash!
