Jennifer Garner and daughter Violet Anne, 2 ½, were all smiles after leaving art class in Santa Monica in Tuesday. The 36-year-old actress expects her second child with Ben Affleck this winter.
Violet, who was sporting braids in her hair, carried a Max Daniel Rosebuds and Satin throw in ivory ($56). CBB readers can save 15% on the blanket when you use code tinytot15 at Tiny Tot Boutique.

Woah! Blonde hair! I guess all that park-time has shown itself! 
Beautiful, as usual.

Jennifer & Violet are my absolute favorites – have we ever seen either of them together without smiles? Violet is beautiful & Jennifer just glows as a mother. And her dad isn’t so bad either

Missed these two. Haven’t seen them for a few days. I can wait to see Jen with two little ones.

I always get the feeling that Jen Garner must be a fun mother (if one is to make assumptions from photos!) She always seems to have a smile on her face (just like Violet). Hopefully the transition from one to two kids will be effortless for their entire family.

Violet has Sesame Street ponytail holders from Target in her hair – my daughter has the same ones. They were in the $1 bins around Easter. You can find them on EBay now

I love the smiles…So sweet. They’re about one of the cutest mother-daughter duos. ♥

Little Violet is such a doll. I wonder if she is ready for a sibling.
I gotta agree on the braids! Absolutely cute and i still braid my friend’s daughter’s hair whenever she’s around. Mum can’t do them LOL ;o) I also hope that the switch from one child to two will be fine!

carla, i was wondering the same thing. So far Violet had all of mommys attention and Jen is a very attentive mother. Hope she copes well with a little sibling. And i’m hoping for a boy . Wish them all the best.

These are without doubt the nicest, cutest mother- daughter duo!
They are always smiling so much that I’m starting to get a complex that my 21 month old daughter and I don’t smile as much! i’d quite like the paparrazi to take a load of snaps of us out and about to see if we are as smiley!!

Violet is more mature at her age than many an adult that I’ve met. It’s a huge gift to have such a precious gem. Some parents merit this and thank G-d it gladden the rest of us to see it manifested. Bless them.

They almost always look so happy. Such a cute pair.
