PHOTOS: Santa Claus visits Michigan NICU babies

This week, before Santa Claus made his trip around the world, he and Mrs. Claus made a special stop to visit some of the newest babies in Michigan.

The Jolly Old Elf stopped at Children’s Hospital of Michigan Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with Mrs. Claus to visit the sweet babies.

The newborns were specially dressed as they were surrounded with holiday spirit. Volunteer photographers from T. Rosa Studios snapped the beautiful pictures of the newborns and St. Nick.

Families will have these moments to cherish forever as the tiny patients grow big and strong.
