Jennifer Garner's Girls Day Out

Along with a friend, Jennifer Garner took her 4-year-old Violet to the opera in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday (December 19). After the performance mom looked pleased. I wonder if Violet enjoyed the show?!

Jennifer and her husband of four years, Ben Affleck, are also parents to 11-month-old daughter Seraphina.

Jennifer recently commented on the importance of having close girlfriends.

I miss my girlfriends [when working on location]! That’s the hardest thing about being on location when it’s not for your own project. When it’s for you, you’re on set with everybody you know, but if not, it’s lonely. I can live with Ben working crazy hours. But I can’t live without girlfriends around to talk about men with! It’s fine if he’s not there; I just need someone to bitch about it to!”
