I liked the finale. I understand if people felt it ended on too much of a happy note, but I didn't mind for a couple reasons.
1. The whole series up till that point had been so terribly unhappy. I even posted about that early on. It was nice to finally get a bit of balance.
2. There are plenty of places for it to go from here. This doesn't need to be the end, and it's not necessarily all wrapped up in a little bow. If the series is renewed, there will be lots to explore and of course, get bummed about.
3. The ending fit with the motive of the episode and the year in general. IE 'god' works in mysterious ways. It's quite obvious Kevin wished for his family back, and in turn he received a new type of family. You can even rewind it back from there and his comment about taking his family for granted just before the disappearance happened. It all fits. In fact, it's a bit like the story of Job.
