So I thought I would share some photos with you of my Grandma making Vasilopita for New Years. It is a Greek and eastern European tradition to bake a new years day bread. Before baking a coin is slipped into the dough. On new years day the Vasilopita is cut open to bless the house for the following year and the slices are cut for each family member and possible present guests in order of age. Family traditions vary and the reciever of the coin is blessed with good luck for the new year. My grandma from South Dakota baked it at our house this year and it is one of those traditions that as you age, you begin to wonder how long it will continue. I wanted to document if for my own personal memory as we all are getting older. I love her, she is so cute!
