While the East Coast was pounded with snowstorms all weekend, folks in California dealt with a cold snap of their own.

So it's no surprise that Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner and their kids pulled the sweaters and jackets out of the closet for a weekend of play and shopping.

On Saturday, Garner, 41, was snapped at the Brentwood Country Mart with daughter Seraphina, four.

Garner was dressed in black pants and a black overcoat with black pumps and sunglasses perched on her head. She wore her auburn hair down and loose.

Her shopping companion Seraphina sported a pink quilted jacket over a red print dress, gray leggings and pink and purple sneakers with pink socks.

On Sunday, the whole family was spotted out and about in their Brentwood neighborhood.

Affleck was seen shopping with both his daugthers, Seraphina held his hand, while Violet, who had her 8th birthday on December 1, rode in her daddy's arms.

The two-time Oscar winner wore dark blue jeans and a gray knitted sweater over a purple polo shirt with blue sneakers.

The beautiful, bespecaled, Violet, who was wearing either red shorts or a skirt, must have gotten chilly, because she was wearing a black quilted parka, which her mom had worn earlier in the day, and multi-colored tennis shoes.

Violet's little sister wore a T-shirt, leggings and the same quilted jacket from the day before, all in various shades of pink.

The Dallas Buyers Club actress wore sunglasses and a pair of silver bracelets and had her hair pulled up in a ponytail.
