I guess this 120 is cheaper than buying a full round trip for $350-400 for example.

Is the estimate taxes of $70 USD for a round trip?
Since the bulk of the miles for the ticket are to come from your account wouldn't it make sense (as in be less expensive) to transfer the 8K miles from your mom's account to yours?

$120 would be the cost to transfer 8000 miles... from your mom's to your account.

Do either of you have miles/points elsewhere that could be transferred (like in Membership Rewards)?
