Reading Alma takes a long time

We're working on reading the Book of Mormon by June, because we're sooo righteous. Last night we finished the book of Alma, so tonight we got ice cream to celebrate. I like to think that reading Alma is like driving through Pennsylvania. It's lovely and full of goodness, but it is oh-so long, and when you're through it you feel like you've accomplished something pretty big. 

This  school year is the first time we've read actual scriptures with the kids every night. We've always done the scripture videos on lds.org or the simplified scripture stories. Sometimes getting through those chapters is a bit tedious, but we've been amazed at Aani in particular, who can now read those big scripture words without any trouble. Who needs first grade sight words?
