(MURFREESBORO) On this Halloween the NICU at Ascension St. Thomas Rutherford Hospital was full of sweet treats. The babies are rocking these hand-knitted crochet costumes for Halloween. These adorable outfits include a precious mermaid, a cute cow, a fearsome dinosaur, and more.

The initiative aims to bring smiles and warmth to loved ones during the holiday season.
