Halloween is in full spooky swing at Jennifer Garner‘s house.
During her Monday appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Camping star divulged details about a few seasonal traditions she’s looking forward to participating in with her three kids: Samuel Garner, 6½, Seraphina Rose Elizabeth, 9½, and Violet Anne, 12.
