I don't know if this is my own insecurity or if for some reason they really think it's odd that I wear a kilt.
David, first of all, how nice of you to do that for your parents. Be glad you still have them around.

As far as their lack of reaction, I'd prefer to believe that they've come to accept the kilt as the norm for you, and just treat it as if you were wearing those boring slacks. If you still feel they were reacting in a negative manner, I think it speaks more about their own insecurity, not yours. I would pretend that it never happened and continue wearing your kilt whenever and wherever you want. If there indeed is a problem on their part, it will come out eventually and you'll have an opportunity to discuss it with them. In the meantime, enjoy the new connection with your bro's SO, and be proud of what you did for your folks.
