On Saturdays during the lockdown, the Royal New Zealand Ballet broadcasts a recording of an old favorite ballet. When they broadcast Midsummer Night’s Dream over Easter weekend, Annie and her mommy set up a theater in the living room and wore her fanciest dress. She picked out outfits for all the rest of the ladies in the family as well, and invited only her best-dressed dolls. Chandelier Angel and Alice “Sweetbud” Olivia got front-row seats, as they clearly knew how to dress for a ballet. In this photo, Annie does some ballet in anticipation of the performance.
Easter Sunday
Easter morning! Time to crush Daddy under the combined weight of his offspring.Cora in her chosen Easter fineryPosing for a beautiful Easter portrait
Forlorn children being forced outside for a walk on a chill Easter morning. Cora is able to stay strong but Annie collapses, in spite of her walking stick, and her sister is forced to push her in the stroller yet again.
The Easter Bunny leaves, among other things, some beautiful colored eggs. The starving children are allowed to eat as many eggs as they want at lunchtime, as a special treat, and the eggs are gone by the end of the meal. Mommy and Daddy were allowed a few eggs but not many.Mysterious cake left on the top of the stove in the evening. Annie is currently collecting evidence regarding its origins.
