Last Sunday, Todd and I went on our annual DFW Texas Toy Run and it was a great time as always. It was a long day for us because our friends we ride with live in Ft Worth so we get a 45 minute ride in before it even starts. So how the ride works, we have a meeting place in Dallas and a meeting place in Ft Worth. At same time, we start our ride and meet at the same time in a middle city Arlington where our Cowboys and Rangers stadiums are. It was estimated around 4000 bikes in attendance.
People pull over on side of highway to watch every year and we throw out candy to the kids. Todd wore a hoodie which was perfect holder for my bag of candy. LOL. The weather was perfect and I was so happy it wasn't as cold as previous years.

I was able to grab a photo with Santa and my friend Shari.
Todd and I went to one of our metroplex Harley shops and guess who was there? Yep, Santa!! So what else is a girl to do but get picture with him again.
And to top off some Christmas spirit, have you seen a truck painted with chalkboard paint and an inflatable snowman in the back in your town?
I have really enjoyed the last few days being at home with Todd and the dogs and not getting up at 5:15 am. Really really enjoying it!! I hope that all of you are taking some time for you to soak up time with your loved ones.
This is my last post for the year and I am so happy that I picked up blogging again in July after taking a few months off. I've loved catching up with my old friends and have made some wonderful new friends on blogs this year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and i'll be posting soon.
Hi, Holli-berry!
ReplyDeleteYour last post of 2018 is filled with fun, cheer and smiles. I am happy to know your year ended on an upswing and that you had a chance to spend some time relaxing with Todd and your dogs. There's still time to take your pooches to get their picture taken with Santa (or one of his helpers). :)
The pictures of the people and bikes involved in the DFW Texas Toy Run are terrific. It must be an awesome sight to see thousands of bikes riding down the highway in formation. I'm glad the weather cooperated and I am proud of you and Todd for taking part in the event.
Santa saw countless boys and girls this holiday season. I am sure he will remember you as the girl with the biggest, brightest and best smile of all. The main street in our town is nicely decorated for the holidays, but I have not yet seen that handsome snowman riding around in a truck.
I am very grateful that you and I have completed another year of friendship, Holli. It is very special and I look forward to us sharing our worlds with each other in 2019.
Take care and have a wonderful Christmas, dear friend Holli!
Happy New Year Shady!! hope your Christmas was festive and memorable. I'm glad the holidays are behind us now and let the new year begin!!
DeleteLooks like a lot of fun! I love the big stuffed animals riding behind the bikers! Have a wonderful holiday season and best wishes for 2019!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra, hope your holidays were wonderful and special. Some of those stuffed animals were almost as big as the bike. So fun! Happy New year!
DeleteMerry Christmas to you! Wow that is one amazing ride with so many people riding. Cute picture with Santa. So glad you are enjoying your time off. Happy New Year, wishing you all the best in 2019.
ReplyDeleteIt was hard coming back to work but at least its a short week. I saw on fb you were able to pull off all your Christmas magic with the trees and ornaments. So awesome!
DeleteHappy New Year!!
Now I can't stop picturing eating candy out of his hoodie as you guys ride, lol!
ReplyDeleteMay the rest of the year be glorious. And the year to come be even better. Happiest Holidays, Holli!
It was so handy and now i'm on to something!! LOL- Next year, Todd is going to have to wear a hoodie again. It was so much easier.
