Thanks everyone. looks like I might have to reconsider the present opening thing...

Arrrgghh! I am dreading that bit. DD is very good and always says 'thank you SO much for the wonderful present' (same thing everytime lol) but I'm just worried about how she is going to go with all the people and stimulation (she's very very shy) and think she is likely to just freak out and go hide in her room if the attention is too intense lol. I think we will do it as people give them to her so it is not all at once with everyone watching since I'm sure that would put her over the edge.

Definitely a list... I know - it is my pet hate when thank you notes are not sent. I'm still bitter that my BIL and his wife didn't send thank you notes for their wedding or baby shower lol. They are crossed off my gift list now!
