Peculiar Family Member and Tradition

I grew up in the typical family of four. My father however, was far from typical, he was boisterous, outgoing, and at times obnoxious. He named me after his grade school, Logan Elementary. He has been self-employed for almost thirty years. As I grew up I learned the term "Disney Dad", and I realized that fits my father perfectly. Although he spoiled my brother and I with lots of toys and later on cars, he didn't overdo it. If my brother and I did something wrong we knew we were in for it. I can remember being a little kid covering my butt with my hands to lessen the pain that my father would inflict on me as my punishment for being bad. So can my brother. Even with his discipline my brother and I still loved him because, you see, we couldn't wait for him to get home from work to play with him. Even on the nights when something went wrong at work or he was exhausted he still found the time to play with us.  

When I was younger, every Thanksgiving the whole family would get together at the grandparents for dinner and to watch the football games afterwards. During the games, eventually every male adult would fall asleep in a recliner, especially my grandfather. Now I am nineteen years old, and I can already see that I will be participating in this tradition as well.
