What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than a lil time with your wee ones? Celebs enjoyed the holidays with their families this past week, and the adorable faces of Hollywood's smallest stars were a sweet treat to kick off the spirit of the season. Check out the slideshow to see who was up to what!

First off, Happy Birthday to the adorable Violet Affleck who turns three today! The precious toddler wore a shirt in the color of her name as she arrived at LAX with her famous parents yesterday. Ben Affleck continues to show his facial hair and short haircut, which we're hoping is for a role since it's not our favorite look.

As Jennifer Garner dealt with
some scary stuff back home, Ben Affleck was across the world in the Congo yesterday. This is Ben's fourth trip as he
continues to raise awareness about the crisis afflicting the nation. While in the city of Goma, the actor spoke out about this violent situation in Central Africa, and expressed his feelings on how people need to step up and help.

Jennifer Garner and Violet had an extra special guest on their way to school on Friday — Ben's mother Chris was out to visit her granddaughter and spend the day with her daughter-in-law. Ben had his own errands to run, but it must be nice to have a pair of
helping family hands in town while they prepare for the arrival of baby number two.

Basketball season is underway, which means we're sure to see lots of celebmamas and papas taking their tots to Lakers and Knicks games galore. David Beckham treated his eldest son, Brooklyn, to courtside seats and a caramel apple. Other families spent the weekend jet-setting around the world.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck brought Violet to Palisades Park on Sunday and had some fun playing on the swings. Jen looked perfectly
primped for delivery with a new haircut and her ever-growing baby bump. Victor Garber, who first broke the news of their second addition,
recently spoke about the Garner-Afflecks and said they are a "perfect family" and that Jen is doing "absolutely great" in her pregnancy.

Violet Affleck was animated as usual as Jennifer Garner picked her up from school before heading to the voting booth in LA yesterday. We're sure Ben had plenty to talk about with his girls as well — though the sticker he proudly showed off really says it all. Ben and Jen were just
two of the many celebrities who set a good example by hitting the voting booths yesterday, and after all their
hard work for the Obama campaign, the whole family must be celebrating the Democratic victory today.

After getting dressed up as Ted and Fred for Halloween, Jen and Violet were spotted around town at the Children's Museum on Saturday and a bookstore with Ben on Sunday. The family headed east so Ben could host Saturday Night Live this weekend. Jen watched on and then the couple the celebrated with the cast at an after party.

It's no secret that some Tinseltown parents have political leanings. Matt Damon has been hitting the Obama campaign trail hard while Elisabeth Hasselbeck works it for Sarah Palin. Check out the slideshow to see if you know which box some of Hollywood's hippest parents will check next Tuesday!

Ben Affleck took Jennifer Garner and Violet to the park in Pacific Palisades on Sunday for some family fun on the playground before he went to LAX. Ben's heading to NYC to start rehearsing before his
SNL hosting duties this upcoming weekend. The
election skits have been a huge hit on SNL this season, so we'll be interested to see if Ben will get a chance to
endorse Obama one last time before we all vote next week.
