Enjoying some time away from the kiddos, Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth met friends for lunch in Malibu on Friday (July 5).

Pretty in cropped jeans and a yellow sweater, the “This Means War” actress chatted happily with her dining companions as they headed back to their vehicles.

Like many Americans, the New Orleans native took some time out of her busy schedule to enjoy some 4th of July activities with her family.

Decked out in a navy and white polka-dot swimsuit, Reese spent the holiday at the beach with her hubby and their 9-month-old son Tennessee.
