Matching dimples! Jennifer Garner and her precious petal Violet flash look-alike smiles

When balancing a family of three children, a husband with a growing career and a successful one of your own, it's quite a juggling act.
But Jennifer Garner managed to steal away some precious one-on-one time with her eldest daughter Violet, age seven.
The two were seen in an embrace as the 40-year-old took her mini-me out of the car at a friend’s house in the Pacific Palisades, California, on Monday morning.
They both flashed look-alike grins, with Violet showing dimples in her cheeks just like her famous mother.

The former Alias star appeared to be en route to a workout session.
She wore star-spangled black sweatpants that cinched at the ankle and a fluffy white jacket layered over a green T-shirt kept the actress warm.
Stark white and blue, cushioned trainers supported Jennifer as she filled her arms with a pink monkey knapsack, a Scooby Doo lunchbox and her beloved seven-year-old daughter.

Taking a leap of faith in fashion: Violet expressed her personal style by choosing to wear two different shoes for the day

Morning people: Both Jennifer and Violet seemed to be in high spirits for an early Monday wakeup call

Violet wore one of her most frequented colours, pink, in the form of a zip-up hoodie sweatshirt with a cute grey skirt.
Her hair in pigtails, Jennifer’s lookalike accented her vibrant sweatshirt with matching ribbons.
When it came to her footwear, Violet took a bold fashion route.
Showing early signs of being a style risk-taker, she wore two different sneakers.
Jennifer didn’t seem to mind her daughter’s mismatched shoes whatsoever as she lifted her daughter from the car.

Both laughing and giggling, a few precious moments were shared between a busy mother and her growing daughter.  
Jennifer must be making the most of her time with family before heavy promotion for her next film is released later this year.
She is set to co-star with Matthew McConaughey, Jared Leto, and Steve Zahn in Dallas Buyers Club.
The film is loosely based on the true-life tale of Ron Woodroof, a drug taking womaniser who was was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 1986 and given thirty days to live.
