Gianna is 18 months old today!
This morning was the egg hunt at Thinker Toys at Kahala Mall. Gigi and I got there by 8 AM, but it was already very busy! It was a rush of people, big and little, as they let us into the store.

Here's Gianna picking up her first egg. Luckily the eggs were in plain sight, so the little ones could find them easily.

Here's Gigi with her basket of eggs.

Each child was allowed to find five eggs.

After Gianna collected five eggs, we had to stand in line to trade them in for a present.

I think Gianna's counting her eggs to make sure that she had all five of them.

She handed her eggs over to one of the sales people and in return she got to choose a little stuffed animal and a bag.

The store also had some treats. Here's Gianna having a cupcake for breakfast! She has the lamb she picked out in her hand. The pink bag was also a present from the egg hunt.

Gianna was thirsty after eating most of the cupcake, so we stopped by at Starbucks for a tall soy milk.
Then we headed out to Wahiawa. We picked Grandma up and went to the market. We brought along Gianna's shopping cart so that she could walk around the market with her own cart. It worked really well!

She walked all around the market and was very well behaved!


In the afternoon, we went to visit Auntie Tyra, Hailey and Mason in Mililani. Auntie Tyra took us to the park near by her house. Here's Gianna playing with Hailey at the playground.
