It is not a grammar rule, but it is an almost universally followed matter of style to not say "I and [whoever]" but to say "[whoever] and I."
You used "were sitting" but "watched" - stick with one tense for better style.
Therefore:
Meanwhile, the other parents and I were sitting not too far away, watching the celebration.
