Mother's Day Manicures

Instead of getting something traditional for mom for Mother's Day like flowers or chocolates (or whatever else is traditional), we decided to have a mother daughter manicure session. We met up at a beauty college in Provo. I thought it'd be good to meet at a central location between Logan and Heber/Springville. It was great getting our manicures done there because it's cheaper at a beauty college and easier to get in on short notice. The best part was that mom was completely unawares until she pulled up with Natalie and Emily. (I had given them directions). It was fun planning it as a surprise for mom. We were able to sit close to each other and talk as our hands and digits were moisturized, pampered, and polished.

After getting our nails done, we ate at Olive Garden, which is always so good. We enjoyed sampling each other's dishes of braised beef and torteloni, five cheese manicotti, garlic chicken fettucine, and venetian apricot chicken. Mmm, mmm good.

Next we did a little discount shopping and found some paint for the kitchen and steps at the Heber house as well as various items of clothing at the local DI.

Our next stop was to the wonderful house in Springville. Our time there included having maté with mom, getting our cars washed by Carlos (and Abraham), playing kickball, eating a yummy crockpot dinner, and enjoying beautiful mountain vistas from the porch.
