What full frame lenses do you prefer using to help you get the best real life kids and family photos on holidays and at home, i.e. not for any arranged portraits.

For me, it would be a no brainer...a fast 35mm lens. I have the Sigma and love it but from everything I hear, if you can afford the new Canon 35mm f1.4, then by all means, go for that lens.

I like the 35mm FL because you can get your family in with the surroundings to give it some context to the family photo. Shows some of the house, where you vacationed, etc. It does take a little getting used to framing the shot if you usually don't shoot much below 50mm but well worth the effort in my opinion.
