"And then to think, with all this, that we are to go to Snow Lodge!
It's great!" cried Bert.

"I hope I can get some good pictures up there with my camera," said
Nan. "Will you show me how it works, Bert?"

"Yes, and we'll go out to-day and try it. I want to see how my new
skates go, too. The lake is frozen and we'll have some fun."

The day was cold and clear. There had been a little fall of snow
during the night, but not enough to spoil the skating, and soon Bert
and Nan were on their way to the lake, while Flossie and Freddie,
after inspecting all their presents over again, had gone out to play
on their sleds.

This gave Dinah and Mrs. Bobbsey time to get ready the big Christmas
dinner, with the roast turkey, for Mr. Bobbsey had brought home one of
the largest he could find.

While Flossie and Freddie were playing on the hill, a small one near
their home, they heard a voice calling to them:

"Want a ride, youngsters?"

Looking up they saw Mr. Carford in his big sled. It was filled with
baskets and packages, and the Bobbsey twins guessed rightly that the
generous old man was taking around his Christmas contributions to the
poor families.
