I would write: Lewis' any other way looks and sounds awkward- I don't have my offical handbook but you could check out dianahacker.com (I'm an English teacher)

Lewises, but better to do the Lewis Family
ever hear of 'keeping up with the Joneses' ? it's the same thing
Lewis' means belonging to Lewis

Re: plural spelling
That's right. It's definitely Lewises (I'm an english professor). If you're addressing the family, The Lewis Family does make more sense though...

Re: plural spelling
to make it plural (not possessive) this is the rule:
Rule 5. Do not use an apostrophe for the plural of a name. Examples: We visited the Sanchezes in Los Angeles. The Changs have two cats and a dog.
