It’s no surprise Chris Hemsworth wants to spend as much time as possible with his beautiful family.

The hunky Australian actor was spotted with his wife and baby daughter after enjoying a meal in  Santa Monica, California yesterday.

The Avengers star, 29, his wife Elsa Pataky and their seven month old India Rose were seen leaving the Kreation Kafe after spending their first Christmas together as a family in the States.

As the family of three left the restaurant, which specialises in organic food, Elsa carried little India Rose, who was bundled up in a blanket.

Chris followed close behind as he proved to be a gentleman by carrying his wife’s bag.

The former Home and Away actor looked relaxed in blue jeans, a black hat and leather jacket.

Spanish model Elsa, 36, who has been married to Chris since late 2010, also kept it casual in patterned skinny jeans, grey slouched boots and a black cardigan.

Sleeping India Rose, who was born in London, was wearing jeans and cute pink Converse trainers.

Chris and his family have spent a lot of time in London while Chris filmed Thor: Dark World, but jetted back to the the US last Sunday for their first Christmas as a family.

With the clan being in Los Angeles for the holidays it also gave Chris a chance to catch up with his brother Liam and his fiancee, singer Miley Cyrus.

Chris recently described fatherhood as ‘wonderful’.

When asked about his daughter, he told Us magazine: ‘She sleeps very well. Not out of any skill on my behalf, but my wife has been amazing.’

And when asked what the best part about fatherhood is so far, Chris replied: ”Just her being here.

‘It’s certainly taken all my focus and attention away from work – or what have you – but that’s the main thing on my brain right now. It’s wonderful.’
