My parents live in a mountain retreat. It was awesome! We were up in the mountains with SO MUCH snow! Utah has been hammered this year. It was awesome being there in the middle of it! My kids could climb the snow banks next to the house and touch the roof! Karsten had a blast shoveling the snow and was in heaven when Papa took him in the truck to plow the driveway. We played in the snow every single day. Papa bribed the grandkids to go down one of the steepest sledding hills I've ever seen. Skyla took the bait. She made it and was the only one to even try! Sierra caught some killer jumps. I became the sole member of the Polar Bear club since I was the only one dumb enough to jump in the snow in my swimsuit and then jump back in the hot tub. Nana always had cookies or hot chocolate (or a hot tub!) waiting.
There's just something about being at my mom's house... All the stress and schedule of life just melted away and I could enjoy my kids and build a snowman and read a book... It was a much needed escape from reality. We even got an extra days of it since there were snow storms when we were trying to get home.
Thank you Nana and Papa!!!

So FUN!! Sounds like we really missed out! I love the picture in front of the fire! :)
I would say that, yes, Sierra's line about "that was a statement," was, in fact, pretty funny. But also -- watch out. :) That girl is way too smart.
It looks like you had a really relaxing vacation!
