sunglasses Katherine Heigl Serendipity

Although she's been working non-stop to film her new NBC pilot, Katherine Heigl still made time for play on Sunday.

The blonde beauty and her husband Josh Kelley took a break from their rigorous schedules to treat their daughters Naleigh and Adalaide to ice cream at New York City's Serendipity 3 restaurant.

Katherine has been in New York shooting her new show State of Affairs in which she plays a CIA-agent-turned-president's-daily-briefer. If the political drama (think Scandal meets The West Wing) gets a series order, it would mark Katherine's first TV gig since her departure from ABC's doctor drama Grey's Anatomy in 2010.

The loving mom carried Adalaide in one arm and held Naleigh's hand with the other. The family bundled up to keep warm in the Big Apple cold.

Katherine and Josh adopted Naleigh from South Korea in 2009 and Adalaide from Louisiana three years later. The actress told Jay Leno at the time that she had to talk her hubby into the adoption as they hadn't anticipated getting another child so soon after the first adoption.

"I had to talk Josh into that one," she said. "He thought it was gonna be a few years, and that we were gonna end up with more of like a 9-month-old or 10-month-old, and he looked at me and said, 'You're telling me [that] in a month we're gonna have a newborn?' And I said, 'Yeah, it's perfect timing, don't you think? Look, we're both here, we're not working. This is great. We can spend time with her.'"

Katherine looked chic in a black and white striped sweater dress and brown pea coat -- a far cry from the curve-hugging blue dress she recently sported on the set of State of Affairs. She's a hot mama through and through.
