Happy New Year!

New Years Eve we ate noodles like the Japanese for luck and longevity! Drew and I also had fast food for the last time. Our new years resolution is to only eat fast food when we're traveling (it's almost impossible not to when traveling, c'mon). As we munched down our fries and big macs, we set some goals as a couple and as individuals. We set a spiritual goal, a health goal, a physical goal, and a financial goal. We are excited to accomplish these goals, or just see how long they will last.
 We celebrated New Years Honduran style this year! The tradition is to stuff your old clothes with hay or firecrackers in the shape of a man, and light it on fire. Goodbye 2010, hello 2011!
 Drew and his festive siblings.
 It was freezing outside, but the burning dude didn't disappoint.
 Kendra never fails to crack me up.
 My midnight kiss for the third year in a row!
 Making our toasts and drinking some bubbly! I may or may not have spilled a little.
Next year, I would like to go to New York and watch the ball drop! Or Australia, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Moscow, Berlin... whichever. They all seemed like hopping celebrations on TV, not to say that watching it from our couch isn't. 
Happy New Year everyone!
The Hollenbacks have a lot of adventures in store for this year, it'll be a good one.
