Ben and Jen are back together! If these photos of the couple and their kids out to dinner last night are any indication, we're guessing Jennifer Garner's a hot second from calling off the divorce she filed for last year after hubby Ben Affleck was caught cheating with the family's nanny. Painful, yes; but a reason to break up her beautiful family? Maybe not ...

Jen's interview in the new edition of Vanity Fair is the first step of a massive PR push by the actress' team to have her drop the divorce and officially reunite with her husband, we'd say. She calls Ben "the love of her life" and says, "He's the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous."

Awww! Sounds like a girl who wants her man back!

So Saturday night, the family reunited for Samuel's birthday at Santa Monica restaurant Art's Table. The group had celebrated earlier in the day, as well, with a star-studded birthday party attended by Matt Damon and his kids and another neighborhood pal, Reese Witherspoon and her son Tennessee.

Dinner last night was a calm, casual family affair and everyone looked relaxed and happy, according to our photographer: "Ben was smiling the entire time. It's almost like that Vanity Fair quote was in his head and he was super happy about Jen redeeming him. He was beaming -- just looking at her, in love, the whole night."

Hey, no family's perfect, but maybe this one's back on track to being one big happy family!
