Violet Affleck Loves Her Swing Set

Jennifer Garner helps daughter Violet, almost 2, swing into action at a Central Park playground in New York City on Friday morning.

Cute mommy-daughter moment!

Jen, 35, returned to work yesterday on her Broadway play Cyrano de Bergerac after the 19-day writers strike.

“I am so happy that it’s over,” Jennifer told Access Hollywood“It was devastating to miss doing the show we had just opened. The audience was having the best time and to just, ‘OK! Now we are not doing it for the next couple of weeks,’ was the strangest feeling. Especially over Thanksgiving, people would be waving their tickets in my face on the street and saying, ‘I came here to New York to see you do this play.’ I just was kind of like ‘I wish I could do it for you right here.’”

And the Affleck-Garners are already in Christmas mode!

“Yeah, we will do a tree. We are already busy making ornaments,” Jen laughed. “I am not good at it but you know, we have glue and glitter and construction paper. What else do you need?”
