Mommy said, on their side of town, the children don't open their gifts so the other children don't get upset. What????? That's the most fun for the kids is helping to tear open the gifts. Needless to say, tothat's the stupidest reason I've ever heard. Sounds pretty selfish to me....come to the party and watch the baby eat her cake and go home. They didn't even have a birthday cake for the kids to eat. That family is so strange.......
