Some of the Miami Valley’s tiniest residents were just dressed in the Halloween spirit.

Thirty babies in Miami Valley Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) wore costumes made by nurses and parents during a special trick or treat party Thursday at the hospital, Sharon Howard, a hospital spokeswoman said.

There were skeleton triplets, a Cat in the Hat and a pair of adorable turtles.

The babies’ siblings made crafts and trick-or-treated at the nurses stations during the event.

The party was meant as a service to families, Howard said.

“The mom and dad is at the hospital (with the new baby),” Howard said. “They don’t want their other kids to be left out.”

Check out some of the costumes below.
