On New Year's Day families cut the Vasilopita to bless the house and bring good luck for the new year. This is usually done at the New Year's Day midday lunch, where the cake is served as dessert. A coin is wrapped and hidden in the bread by slipping it into the dough before baking. A piece of cake is sliced for each member of the family and any visitors present at the time, by order of age from eldest to youngest. Slices are also symbolically cut for various other people or groups, depending on local and family tradition.
Since we cut the Vasilopita at home this year, Daddy had the honor of cutting it for the first time. As you can see, Emma was very excited about getting cake!
And with cake often comes ice cream. And with Ice cream often comes brain freeze if you eat it too fast. Poor Jager! This was his first experience with brain freeze. If only I had this moment on video. I've never seen anything so funny!
