Jesus and the Easter bunny

So, even though my daughter is only 3 months old I wanted to do something special for her for Easter, this being her first Easter and all. My husband isn't really into the whole Easter thing but I feel like it is a right of passage when you are a little kid. I wanted to see her face light up when she saw the Easter bunny for the first time but then I remembered that she's only 3 months old and won't know what the hell is going on anyway, soo maybe next year. But, to be completely honest, i'm not really sure what the hell is going on with easter either. Seriously though, what's the deal with the bunny? And the painted eggs? Bunnies don't even lay eggs. Who came up with this idea anyway?

I mean obviously if you're a Christian you would be celebrating Jesus's resurrection,  but where does the famous easter egg hunt come into play? I tried looking up the meaning on Wikipedia but there were a bunch of big words like antiquity and vernal equinox and something to do with bunny fertility. So, what exactly am I supposed to tell my daughter when she asks how Jesus knew the easter bunny? Maybe if I give her enough peeps she won't ask.
