(KSL News) A group of kids who were all very, very small when they were born were reunited today at the University of Utah Medical Center.
It was a gathering of premature babies, who are now a bit more grown up.
This holiday open house is put on by Parent to Parent, a group that lends support to parents of critically ill premature babies.
When a newborn is in the intensive care unit, it's very scary for the parents, and they quickly become friends with other parents in the same situation. This event gets them back together again.
Rachel Hixson/Parent to Parent, University of Utah Hospital: "They share that traumatic experience and come back here and celebrate the experience of health and wellness and survival, and the holiday season."
Santa Claus was there for the kids to visit with. They also got to play games, hear stories, and take home a new book.
