I found this super easy tutorial here for making origami party hats. I am terrible at origami and even I could do it. The paper I used was scrapbook size so if you wanted larger hats, newspaper would probably work great. And here are some live action shots of Lulu's birthday. I love that everyone is blowing with her. :)
Ten things we love about Lucy:
1) Whenever I sneeze she says "Bess u mom." and then keeps saying it until I say "thank you Lucy." Oh and she knows when it's a fake sneeze and won't say anything.
2) She loves to color, everywhere. Important papers, my planner, the wall, her arms and legs. Arghh- it helps that the boys seem to leave around a never ending supply of markers and pencils for her artwork.
3) Lucy loves music. We do LOTS of singing. Some of her favs: Nursery Rhymes (espeically "There was a crooked man"), "I love to see the Temple," "Angel" by Jack Johnson and "Beautiful" by James Blunt. Curtis has the last two on his ipod and plays them on the guitar sometimes. She loves them and asks for them by name.
4) "Little Bear" is her favorite entertainment.
5) Right now her favorite bedtime story is "How do dinosaurs say Good-Night?"
6) She adores my friend from church Jen and just last Sunday was howling during sacrament meeting "I want JEN!"
7) Ogurt, boke (milk) and anana are some of her fav foods. Every morning she says "Mama, cookee egg?" So we eat scrambled eggs and ketchup, which she calls "Chechetch."
8) She's economic with words. Instead of "Open it" she'll say "Opit"
9) She LOVES to play with her brothers and is already skilled in sword fighting and trampoline wrestling.
10) She just started helping us read scriptures this week. It is so cute to see her sitting with her Bible on her lap repeating every other word we read.
There are lots more! We love Lucy
