That is so awesome that your DIL wrote out the thank-yous right away like that. I know that people wonder whether you need to write thank-yous when you've opened the gifts in front of the giver at a shower and hopefully thanked them then, but it's always nice to get a written thank-you later. And especially for anyone who mailed a gift, getting a prompt thank-you is so nice - otherwise, if you didn't put a delivery confirmation on it, you don't know if they even got it!
