Easter with the Soellers

Brian's sister and her family came down to spend some time with us over Easter.

The boys stayed home one day to play and swim with their cousins!

On Good Friday we went and experienced Stations of the Cross. It was a very touching experience.

Cousins!

Lincoln and Lucy were the cutest together!

Finding Easter baskets!

:) 

We spent a day in Galveston with them. We took the ferry over and enjoyed a day on the beach.

Fun in the sun!

It's a great reminder for me as well!
