Winter is here on the Island of Sodor but Spring is just around the corner. Thomas the Tank engine is trying very hard not to let all the snow distract him from doing his job! He is being a really useful engine and is looking forward to the wearmer weather. My name is Benjamin and I am ten years old! I love Thomas the Tank Engine! (but at this age, I like to keep it a secret........so it's just between you and me!) Follow the table of contents here to read about my visits with the real Thomas and to see Thomas the Tank birthday cakes from my 2nd through 7th birthdays. (this has been UPDATED with my latest birthday cake!) I'm so glad you could stop by and join me! Be sure to check out my latest visit with Thomas the Tank in Strasburg 2001! My grandmother knit me and my two brothers our very own Thomas the Tank sweaters for this special event!
