HOUSTON, TX (CNN/KTRK) -- About a dozen kids got a chance to go on a holiday shopping spree with NFL player Andre Johnson.

The Houston Texans Wide Receiver was flanked by photographers and fans at Toys R Us.

Then it was off to the races as the kids rushed to fill their carts with toys.

The children made off without $19,000 in gifts.

The shopping spree was made possible with the help of the Pro-Bowler's foundation and Child Protective Services.
