There’s nothing like an manicure with mommy! Jennifer Garner was spotted spending time with her kids and getting in some well-deserved R&R. The 47-year-old took a load off at a nail salon in Los Angeles and treated her children to some pampering on Wednesday, December 18.

The brunette beauty sported cropped jeans and a black sweater and made sure to have a pair of flip-flops handy for her pedicure. Seraphina, 10, rocked her school uniform and was very careful to not mess up her wet nails. Even Samuel, 7, got spruced up at the salon with a fresh pedi. Jen was all smiles as she helped her kids to her car.

The 13 Going on 30 actress is often spotted spending quality time with her kids, especially her youngest, Seraphina and Sam. The two siblings hold a “unique bond” and “spend hours playing together,” an insider exclusively told In Touch Weekly. “They squabble at times like all siblings, but generally speaking, they get on.”

“Samuel used to be quietest, but he’s beginning to come out of his shell,” the source dished of Jen and Ben Affleck’s only son. “He looks up to his older sisters.” As for Seraphina, she is a little more rebellious. “Seraphina is adorable and super outgoing. She has more of a mischievous streak than the other two and is incredibly close to Ben,” another insider told In Touch. “Christmas is her favorite time of year — she can’t wait for Santa to deliver her gifts.”

Although Jennifer spends a lot of time with her youngest children, she makes sure to schedule alone time with her oldest daughter, Violet. The 14-year-old looks up to her famous mama. “Violet [is] a real mommy’s girl,” a source told In Touch exclusively about their relationship. “Not only does she look identical to Jen, [but] they share similar personality traits, too, like their passion for cooking.”

Violet sounds like a great big sister. She’s “extremely protective of Seraphina and Samuel and really watches out for her siblings,” the insider added. “She’s extremely mature for her age.”
