Bonsai-ing the Christmas Tree

Dear Reader,

Earlier this week we followed up on last year's whim to turn a small potted plant, which doubled as our christmas tree, into a bonsai.

After learning to avoid crossed branches and encourage horizontal shoots (by lopping off all others), Alien One took her deliberate consideration, and the sheers, to the task at hand.

Significant progress was made before the necessity of additional research was acted on. Witness the Aliens examining the natural shape of a real tree :)

Oh, and we do need to remember to water it!
