Meet the family of the beautiful Cheema sisters. The girls celebrated the last day of fasting for Ramadan on Sunday. Ramadan is the Islamic month of fasting, in which Muslims refrain from eating or drinking from dawn until sunset. "Eid ul-Fitr," the name of this ninth month, means the Festival of Breaking the Fast. I stopped by to take a family picture because they had loved ones in town from all over the United States. Much of the older generations in the family spoke "Urdu" -- the national language of Pakistan. I LOVED being around this dynamic family and learning more about the culture that they embrace and value.
