Flashback to Wonderful Times

Christmas Day

This past Christmas I was very fortunate to spend it with my lovely family including my Aunt Kyle and Estu. It was a very exciting Christmas. My brother had just returned only 15 days prior from serving in the Peace Corps in Uganda, Africa for over 2 years.  

It was such a wonderful time together. 

One of the funny moments that happened when the four of us were together was a few days after Christmas. Estu, Kyle, my mother, and I decided to go to the mall and get a pedicure (Estu was just a great company; he didn't get his nails done, haha) . Of course, we chose the most snowy day of the whole year to go to the mall. In fact, all of the stores in the mall were already closed, but because my mother had called up the nail salon, the sweet owner decided they would stay up so we could get our nails done. So, here we go, we go out into the blistery, cold snowy evening packed in our car. Driving slowy and slipping and sliding, we arrive at the mall. We drive into the parking lot where we see people who are stuck in the snow, but that didn't stop my mom. She drives right through the middle of the parking lot as snow packs between her tires and there we are stuck. A man in a vehicle was driving around plowing people out of their car by using his rope and truck- so of course my mom summons him to get us unstuck from the snow. The man pulls us out and we are thankful! And so what do you think my mom does? She drives right through the snow again to the closest parking spot to the mall entrance and parks the car! There the four of us pile out of the car and continue our adventure into the mall. 

Here we are getting our nails done. The owner was pretty funny; do you notice the money inside our rolled up jeans? He told us, "That is their tip, if they don't do well, then you don't give it to them."! He had some great humor and business etiquette, but overall he was just funny! 

As you can see, Estu is not in the picture because he decided he would walk around the mall and look at stores while we were getting our nails done, but of course, all of the other stores were closed so he had a very dull view of items around the mall! Haha! :) 

-Thank you for reading- 

I will continue this series in the future since all of my events do not get written about until its months past the actual date! Christmas was almost 7 months ago, haha! :)
