Zahara Jolie Pitt

Angelina Jolie took Knox and Pax to Michaels in Santa Barbara, CA, on Saturday. On Sunday, Brad Pitt was in charge of the kids as they went off-roading in the sand. Brad drove a four-wheeler with Knox on his lap, while Pax manned his own bike. The whole family is back together on the West Coast after Angelina returned from a trip overseas last week. Angelina traveled to Africa with Britain's Foreign Secretary William Hague to raise awareness of sexual violence in war zones. She made headlines for more than just her philanthropic work, though, since she debuted a thin gold band on her ring finger. Angelina denied rumors that the new accessory was a wedding band upon arriving back at LAX last week.

Angelina had more than one reason to celebrate this weekend, since she recently won a lawsuit regarding her directorial debut, In the Land of Blood and Honey. A judge determined that Angelina's movie didn't violate the copyright on Croatian journalist James J. Braddock's book, Slamanje Duse.

Angelina Jolie was hand in hand with two of her oldest children, Zahara and Pax, for a shopping trip to Urban Outfitters in LA yesterday. The outing with her kids comes after a solo award-season appearance over the weekend. On Sunday night, Angelina stepped out in Atelier Versace to attend the American Society of Cinematographers Awards, where she presented her close friend cinematographer Dean Semler with the ASC Life Achievement Award. Angelina and Dean worked together on In the Land of Blood and Honey, and he is also involved with her latest project, Maleficent.

Angelina's taking a break from the big screen for another exciting venture — Angelina and Brad Pitt are releasing wine produced at their French vineyard. The label, called Miraval, will first come out with a rosé in March and later add red and white wines to its offerings.

Zahara Jolie-Pitt turns 7 today! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's oldest daughter has been traveling around the globe and staying busy with her famous parents and siblings since she joined the family in 2005. Zahara's smiley ways have made for many memorable moments through the years — take a look back at some of the cutest Jolie-Pitt family photos as we celebrate Zahara's birthday.

This year brought more glamour and globe-trotting than ever for the Jolie-Pitt family. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie kicked off the year with head-turning red-carpet appearances, including her now-famous appearance at the Oscars, and capped things off with their exciting engagement.

Brad and Angelina's party of eight — which includes their children Maddox, Zahara, Pax, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne — traveled to Sarajevo, the Galapagos Islands, Amsterdam, and more. Amid all the travel, Brad and Angelina kept up their busy film careers, working on projects like Maleficent, World War Z, and The Counselor. A busy schedule didn't stop Angelina from tending to her humanitarian work, or Brad from hitting the Cannes Film Festival.

Angelina Jolie took Zahara, Pax, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne to a park in the South of France on Saturday. Zahara, Shiloh, and the rest of the crew bounced around, played together, and checked out the slide. Afterwards, the Jolie-Pitts enjoyed a lunch at McDonald's. Angelina and Brad's eldest, Maddox, stayed back at their Miraval estate with Brad during the outing. Angelina carried a few different Louis Vuitton bags, which is no surprise since she is a face of the brand. Angelina just returned from a tour of Iraq, Turkey, and Lebanon, where she visited with Syrian refugees on behalf of the UN. Brad, meanwhile, has been out promoting his new movie, Killing Them Softly, which he screened in London earlier this month.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt popped up in the French town of Le Touquet with their kids over the weekend. Zahara, Knox, Shiloh, and Vivienne were along for a trip to the toy store where they apparently picked up dolls, Barbie clothes, and rubber stamps, among other things. The Jolie-Pitt crew also reportedly grabbed lunch at Au Bureau during their stay. They enjoyed the getaway during a break from Angelina and Brad's work obligations. Angelina's been filming Maleficent in England in recent weeks and has since returned to the set. Brad, meanwhile, played a small part in The Counselor in London earlier this month.

Angelina Jolie led her kids Pax, Zahara, and Shiloh from their hotel and onto a private jet yesterday as they prepped to leave Bosnia and Herzegovina. They were in the country for the Sarajevo Film Festival, which Angelina attended on Saturday. She was on hand to personally accept honorary citizenship of Sarajevo, a title she was gifted after shooting her directorial debut, In the Land of Blood and Honey, there in 2010. Angelina was touched by the citizenship honor, and said, "This means so much to me. My heart is in this city. The time I spent and the people I met in Bosnia have changed me for ever . . . I can't tell you how much it means to me to be named an honorary citizen of Sarajevo, a city so dear to my heart."

Angelina broke from the UK set of Maleficent for the trip to Sarajevo to spend time at "the best festival" she and fiancé Brad Pitt have ever been to. Brad wasn't able to take the trip himself, but Angelina only needed to look at her left hand for a reminder of her husband-to-be, since she was wearing her large diamond engagement ring.

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and their six kids packed up and boarded a private jet at the end of their Galapagos Islands getaway yesterday. The family spent about a week on the vacation, which came right after Brad and Angelina's exciting announcement that they're going to get married. Angelina removed her engagement ring to take care of some official UN business in Ecuador over the weekend, but the stunning diamond sparkler was back in its place as she and Brad helped their kids off a boat and back onto dry land. Shiloh, Zahara, Maddox, Pax, and twins Knox and Vivienne all tested out their sea legs on the trip to the wildlife-filled islands. While in South America, the Jolie-Pitts hit the beach together as well, though Angelina stuck to dry land and let Brad take on the wetsuit and swimming duties.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie celebrated their engagement news by taking their six kids on vacation in the Galapagos Islands, and over the weekend the whole crew hit the beach together. Brad donned a wetsuit to splash around in the waves with Zahara and Pax while Angelina stuck on dry land in a flowing black dress. Angelina's beach look is a familiar one — it's reminiscent of what she was wearing for the first Brad and Angelina couple pictures in Africa with baby Maddox. On this trip, Angelina fussed with their pink umbrella while the twins Knox and Vivienne played in the sand. Pax also tested out the waters while Shiloh explored. At one point all eight of the Jolie-Pitts climbed back into the raft that brought them to the boat they were using to check out all the islands. Angelina broke from family time to do some UN work on Sunday, but for the most part it was a relaxing adventure for the Jolie-Pitt crew.
