my favorite family moments are when the crew actually realize, or admit (in Mal's case), that they are a family. A few of those moments are:
IN SAFE:
Simon: You...you came for us.
Mal: You're on my crew.
Simon: Right. I guess I just didn't...you don't even like me.
Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?
when Mal says "You're on my crew" it's basically his way of saying "You're in my family now".
IN OUT OF GAS:
Mal: You'll all be here when i wake up?
(crew nods and smiles)
Mal: good.
this is the critical moment when Mal finally admits and everyone finallyu realizes that they are a family.
IN SERENITY:
(when kaylee's in the infirmiry after she's been shot)
Mal: Hey... Hey little Kaylee, what's the news?
Kaylee: I'm shiny, Captain. A-okay. Can't feel much below my belly, though. And I'm... it's gettin' cold.
(Mal moves to get her another blanket, lays it on her -- all the whole hiding his feelings at hearing that.)
Mal:You just gotta rest. Something on this boat's gonna break down real soon, and who else I got to fix it?
Kaylee: Don't worry none... Doc fixed me up pretty. He's nice. You're nice, too.
Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.
Kaylee: You are a nice man, Captain. You always look after us.
this shows the relationship between Mal and Kaylee. the father/daughter relationship. it's sooo sweet.
"this is a good land, and we shall call it ... this land."

Sixgun, you've got 'em pinned.
If asked my favourite family moment, I would say "the entire series". If you think about it, they live for weeks at a time where they are in an enclosed area where they have to interact with each other, and no one else ...and yet no one's throat has been ripped out, not even by Jayne! I call that a strong testament to how well they fit together.
If I have to choose just one moment, though, I choose the shot at the end of OiS (of course, I am biased in that it's my favourite episode). Everyone's got someone to talk to. I've always loved the way Jayne and Book work out together. They seem like as unlikely a pair as you'd find, but they get along despite that.

Early: Where'd she go?
Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's NOT incorporeally possessing a spaceship, don't look at me --
