Jennifer Garner has much to be happy for these days - and she shared her joy while on a playdate with her two-year-old, Seraphina.
The beaming actress was spotted today at a playground in Los Angeles having a great time giving her youngest daughter a piggyback ride, pushing her on the swings and helping her cross the monkey bars.
The 39-year-old mommy-on-duty also has five-year-old daughter Violet with husband Ben Affleck and the couple is expecting their third child.

Embracing her expanding baby bump, Jennifer adorned herself with a violet cotton top, white comfy sweater, a denim skirt, black leggings and flats.
The mother of soon-to-be-three wore her hair down with her face clear of any make-up.
She looked casual and relaxed - compared to her glamorous appearance last night in a sexy LBD on the red carpet at a screening of her new movie Butter during the AFI FEST in Hollywood.
The actress has said in interviews about her maternal style choices: ' You know, I can’t dress up every day, it’s just not in my nature. ... I look at [my clothes] and think 'I can’t be a mom in those clothes.' They just don’t suit me.'

Even though Jennifer and her hubby confirmed she was pregnant for the third time in August, she has yet to announce or confirm the sex of their unborn child.
Although the couple have two beautiful daughters, it is no secret that Ben would like to have a son too.
Back in January of 2010, Jennifer told Us Weekly: 'Ben would like a boy, but I don't want a baby right now.'
Much like their mother, both Violet and Seraphina are quite active. They are taking ballet classes in Brentwood - and they're constantly out on playdates in Santa Monica and Malibu.
And Jennifer is very much about embracing motherhood to the fullest.
A couple of years after the actress gave birth to her first child, Violet, she told People Magazine: 'Having a baby fills your life in such a way that no matter what you're doing, there's something bigger.'

But while Jen and Ben await for their third bundle of joy to arrive, they have kept themselves busy with both their personal and professional lives.
The actress filmed Disney's kid-friendly, The Odd Life of Timothy Green, and has started filming, Back Roads.
Ben has also been starring - and directing - in the new drama, Argo.
