Jennifer Garner is embracing turning 50 and—to mark the upcoming milestone— is sharing a countdown of 50 things that make her happy.
An Aries Queen, the actor will be celebrating the arrival of decade number five on April 17th, and talked about it in an interview with Extra during the premiere of her new film, The Adam Project. “I turn 50… yeah, Easter Sunday,” Garner said. “My family has tickets to come out. My parents and my sisters, nieces, and nephews. I don’t know what we’ll do, but I can’t wait.”
Garner seems legitimately at ease with the concept of aging (rare!), and had been talking about it her Instagram and in multiple interviews. She was a guest on Ellen recently and said “I’m excited. I like it. Why not? I don’t know why I’m surprised that I’m turning 50 but I do have the sense of ‘What the heck, it’s really here?’,” she expressed to Ellen. “I don’t know. I like the idea that all of a sudden I’m allowing myself to believe that I know what I know. It’s empowering.”

In the lead up to the birthday, Garner has been posting to Instagram 50 things that make her happy. The countdown started a few weeks ago with images and videos of things in her life that fill her with joy like blossoms on her nectarine trees, giving back to others, baking for her friends and family, and her love for her home of West Virginia.
