Ava drew this for me for my birthday last week on Thanksgiving. Yes, that's me as a turkey. My own daughter drew me as a turkey -- funny, ain't it? It's funny, and I love it. So that's me holding hands with Ava who has a birthday card for her dear ol' dad. In my other hand is a present that I'm about to open. This scene is amazingly accurate from what transpired on that day, save for me being an actual turkey.
The "Happy Birthday" at the bottom there was done on another card that she drew for me, I just loved it so much I wanted to share that as well.
That's too cute! Did she tell you why she drew you as a turkey?
ReplyDeleteYet another great Ava Thursday post! Like Ava, I have always thought you would make a good turkey as well.
ReplyDeletecaasi, I'm sure that a certain someone, perhaps her mother, put her up to it. Since my birthday landed on Thanksgiving this year, it probably seemed right to draw me as a turkey. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteYes, Jared, you know me oh so well.
how very cute! a turkey! such a little character she is!
ReplyDeleteIs that what I think it is? Did she include your goatee in the pic? Haha! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteYes, that is my goatee! Strange, though, because I now sport a full-on beard. But I think she's used to drawing me with a goatee. I like it.
ReplyDeletewhat I love about this, even more than Ava's wonderful art, is your enthusiasm - your joy in fatherhood.
ReplyDeletethat's so funny and sweet I love it! (and happy birthday!)
ReplyDeletePurple and green! My favourite colour combo ( not to mention, the Hulk's ) That little girl of yours has got it goin' on, turkey-man!
ReplyDeleteI was gonna ask about the goatee, too - wondered if you were a big cigar-smoker. But that's good attention to detail & what a cute touch.
ReplyDeleteMany, many happy returns! And thanks as always for posting your daughter's art(this one is yet another classic)!
ReplyDeletei love how self-referential it is. you'll never forget receiving your special birthday card from ava because you'll be reminded by the nearly-accurate depiction of the event on your special birthday card from ava. and it's a lovely drawing.
