Ash Wednesday 2012

This morning, Corey went to the early 7 am Ash Wednesday mass before work. To be honest, Kya and I were just crawling out of bed a that early hour. I thought it would be a fun change of scenery to venture out to the University of Mary for Ash Wednesday mass at 10 am.

It was wonderful seeing all my old coworkers and friends. Kya was a great kiddo in church (one of only two). Kya was so neat to watch as the ashes were applied, she was absolutely mystified. It was magical to watch her. She was excited to have ashes on her forehead and she didn't allow me to wash them off until her evening bath.

Here is a bit of the Kya fun seen at dinnertime tonight (still with a few ashes on her forehead) ...
