Ben Affleck Does Daddy Duty

Since Jennifer Garner is always spotted out with her two adorable daughters, Violet, 6, and Seraphina, 2, I just couldn't resist posting a couple of pics of the girls hanging with their dad, Ben Affleck.

The 39-year-old actor has been busy filming "Argo" -- a movie he not only stars in but is directing -- in McLean, Virginia, which tells the story of a CIA mission that saved six American diplomats during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis by disguising them as members of a Hollywood film crew. (Ah, that explains Ben's groovy, shaggy locks.) Fortunately, he made it back to L.A. just in time to celebrate Thanksgiving with his family. Ben was even snapped picking up Violet from school in Santa Monica, California, on Monday with his youngest daughter Seraphina in tow. Perhaps Jen, who is pregnant with the couple's third child, was prepping for their Thanksgiving dinner?


The actress recently opened up to Yahoo! Shine about some of her family's holiday traditions. When asked who does the cooking at her house, Jen exclaimed, "I do! Thanksgiving is my favorite day of the year. I absolutely take over." As for her favorite dish, she has a couple that she knows she can always rely on.

"My grandmother made a sweet potato pudding with marshmallows on top," she shared. "My family can't do without it. And leftovers aren't complete without it either, so we make a huge vat of it. I also always make a cranberry glazed turkey."

Hmm ... wonder if they have room for one more at their Thanksgiving table.
