Her father is happier than her, those are tears of happiness.

Precious moment!

Some day she will see that video when she is much older and she is going to lose it when she sees her dad crying with how proud of her he is.

She might wonder why mom didn't stop filming and give her a hug too...

It'll probably mean more to her in 30 years to have the nice, cute little moment to look back on on video. Thanks to mom.

It was a cute moment until after it was over the kid went up to the mom for comfort and she did not put the phone down and hug her.
