Reese Witherspoon had an early birthday dinner at the Palm in West Hollywood last night with her son Deacon and daughter Ava, and the Oscar winner was snapped leaving the eatery with a large Nordstrom bag. Lucky her!

Reese turns 36 today, and we're guessing she's going to leave the kids at home for a romantic dinner with hubby Jim Toth later this evening. After all, now that we know that the duo are expecting their first child together, they have even more to celebrate!
