Blue eyes are..: ..A recessive trait. In order for a child to have blue eyes, both parents need to carry the gene for blue eyes, which they might even if their eyes are not blue. Since your daughter has blue eyes, both her parents have the blue eye gene.

Mixed genes: You have a recessive blond hair/blue eye gene from your mom and a dominant black hair/brown eye gene from your dad. Your husband has a recessive blond hair/blue eye gene from both of his parents. You both passed your recessive blond hair/blue eye gene to your daughter, and so that explains the appearance of all of you.
