Friendly exes Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner reunite to take their kids Christmas tree shopping

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were in family mode much of the weekend as they spent time with their kids, Samuel, 7, Seraphina, 10, and Violet, who turned 14 on Sunday, Dec. 1. With Ben, who’s been filming “Deep Water” in New Orleans, back in Los Angeles for the holiday, the group celebrated Thanksgiving together last week. On Sunday, the whole crew, along with Ben’s mom, headed to church then went to pick out a Christmas tree. “They spent time as a family, as they have done in the past. They got a tree, decorated, went to church [and] saw a movie,” a source later told People. Adding that the actors “work really hard to be united for their kids,” the insider pointed to the weekend activities as being a prime example of their shared commitment more than four years after they announced their split. “Everyone is in a good place,” said the insider. “They all have a lot of love for each other.”
