MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Employees at Children's Hospital are putting smiles on kids' faces during their annual Halloween Costume Contest. 

Doctors, nurses, and other hospital staff are encouraged to come in something other than scrubs and give the kids a laugh. 

Doctors say some of them spent the whole year thinking of the perfect costume. The winners get a pizza party. 

It's one of the many activities the hospital brings to its youngest patients so they can remember, even in the midst of their health battle, they're still a kid.
