She turned 45 on Monday.

Her eldest child made a statement as she sported a gray sweatshirt which had ‘favorite daughter’ emblazoned across it.

Ava’s sweater was a fun tongue-in-cheek reference to their family as Reese has two younger sons, Deacon, 17 and eight-year-old Tennesee, who were not on the outing. 

Reese opted for comfort in all black including hoodie, leggings, and Nike running shoes.

She covered up her signature blonde tresses with a black baseball cap and sported black sunglasses with blue mirrored lenses along with a protective face mask.

The Big Little Lies star was trailing by their family’s newest addition; a black Labrador named Major.

Witherspoon brought Major home in January, three months after her beloved French bulldog Pepper passed away.

Ava, who attends UC Berkeley, was walking her rescue pup Benji, who she adopted from Best Friends Animal Society in October. 

No doubt after the morning of outdoor bonding with her daughter, Reese returned to social media with sweet birthday messages from her A-list friends.

Her co-star on The Morning Show, Jennifer Aniston, was among the celebrities who took to Instagram to pay tribute to the star. 

Reese is regularly seen hiking in Los Angeles as well as encouraging her social media followers to participate in run/walk challenges.

Also not seen on the outing was Reese’s talent agent husband and Ava’s stepfather Jim Toth.

It is a big week as Witherspoon and Toth – who met at a 2010 party – will celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary on Friday, March 26. 

Since October, Witherspoon has been hard at work executive producing and reprising her role as reporter Bradley Jackson in the second season of Apple TV+ series The Morning Show. 

The ensemble newsroom drama also features Jennifer Aniston, Steve Carell, Billy Crudup, and Hasan Minhaj. 

The Legally Blonde alum will also reprise her role as pig mother-of-25 Rosita in Garth Jennings’ star-studded animated sequel Sing 2, which hits US/UK theaters December 22.
