A simple thank you card is sufficient.

If you wanted to do more, you could always invite them over for an evening of dinner and holiday stories!

I would send them thank you flowers.
If you really want to do more, I would later on offer to take their daughter with you on your next fun family event, it doesn't have to be expensive like disneyland, it could be something affordable like a barb b que or camping or even a simple sleep over.

A card as well as a phone call saying how nice it was of them..also a gift basket with fruits and such would be nice to send them.

Comments on this post
RubyPitbull agrees: That is exactly what I would do. A gift basket really shows them how much their kindness was appreciated.

I like the gift basket idea as well - and if you want to do more, invite them for a cookout our out to dinner (your treat) so they can share their photographs. Your daughter could also get duplicates made of her pictures and make a small album for them, or should simply send a thank you note of her own.

All these answers are more than acceptable - what a fab friend your daughter has.

When i send a thank you i try and get something that they would not buy themselves or indeed find in town.

I use a company called Buy Chocolate - Luxury Chocolate Gifts from Hotel Chocolat UK they sell the most adorable chocolates that are very hard to match and have an excellent range at all prices they also deliver direct all over the world.

My friend in virgina adores them!

Just an idea
