My cousin's daughter is about a year and a half old and has blue eyes. My cousin has brown eyes his wife has blue eyes, my cousin's parents and grand parents have brown eyes. I took some biology in college and I'm pretty sure the genes for brown eyes are dominant.
I have my suspicions about what happened but is it even a slight possibility my cousin's daughter could have blue eyes?
My husband and his ex-wife both had brown eyes. They have two sons, one with brown eyes and one with blue eyes. Both are dead ringers for my husband except for their eye color.
In addition, my husband taught college level genetics and he says it is absolutely, perfectly possible.
I am an Asian with brown eyes. My husband has blue eyes. Both of my kids have blue eyes (actually my daughter is kinda bluish hazel, but my son is blue as the sky, just like his daddy.) I'm pretty sure I am the mom, as they came out of me lol. So yes, very possible.

Yes this is genetically possible; the brown eyed parent is a carrier for a light eye color, is all.
I have brown eyes & 11 kids:
Me + blue eyed dad for 1, 2 & 3 = #1 blue, #2 brown, #3 brown.
Me + blue eyed dad for 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 = #4 blue, #5 blue, #6 blue, #7 blue, #8 blue.
Me + blue eyed dad for 9, 10 & 11 = #9 blue, #10 blue, #11 brown.
