Why do we dye eggs?

Every year my sister dyes Easter eggs with my children.
They get all excited about the colors and designs - its
pretty cute to watch. But Johana asked why we dye eggs?
What is the tradition all about? Why so many rabbits and
eggs everywhere in this country? I tried to find the
history of it all, but not much made sense? More retail
merchandise with eggs and bunnies as opposed to heavy wooden
crosses?
