What a great idea! How do you exactly blow out the egg? Some of the eggs I can see a hole on the bottom. So how does that work? All I can say is your passing a great tradition down your family line. Kudos to you!!!

Then I widen the hole by poking a hole gently next to the first hole and keep poking til the hole is about 1/4" and not much bigger. Then on the other end I do the same thing but I make the larger end of the egg a slightly bigger hole. Usually about 1/2" or less. Not too small or the egg will be hard to blow out. Then I blow from the small end and it takes a bit of blowing(just like blowing a whistle) not too hard tho or the shell breaks. I blow into a small bowl. If the egg is hard to get it to start coming out I take the needle and poke it up inside to break the yoke so it isn't too big for the hole. Then blow out the egg.
Then I rinse it off and try to get some water to go inside and I blow on the egg again to blow the water out into the sink.
I have broken several and it can make your cheeks smart after awhile!! But it is worth it!! I try to get some done ahead of time because the kids can go through them faster than I can blow them out! Especially if there are several kids here at the same time!
I freeze the eggs that come out of the shells and use them for homemade noodles or bread or french toast etc.
