Christmas Vacation

Oops, I forgot to put up an away message before I left for the Christmas break. Anyways, we're back now and just had our first practice this morning. For today's post I'm going to put up today's practice plan. There is a lot there and we didn't get to all of it. A lot of it is a roadmap for where we want to be by the end of the week. Feel free to post or email any questions you have.
We didn't have time to cover anything in red.
