Easter report

We had a great time at the second annual Warren Easter Egg hunt. Last year I hid 133 eggs, we found 124, so 9 eggs went missing. These are eggs of the plastic variety filled with candy. I assume some animal ran off with them. This year, I hid 124 eggs, 121 were found, 3 went missing. Are missing eggs just part of the Easter tradition?

My husband had a question that made me laugh out loud, "what do bunnies laying colorful eggs have to do with Easter?" He went on a rant for about 10 minutes about how that doesn't make any sense. I agree. I did an online search and discovered that there isn't a clear answer. In Germany, they claim credit for these traditions according to their paper Deutche Welle. I found an article on yahoo that said many people are conducting the same yahoo search, with mixed results, including explanations counter to the one above.

So, I ask you: "what do bunnies laying colorful eggs have to do with Easter?"
