1- Everyday mommy and daddy kiss me on my cheek.
2- Everyday mommy and daddy kiss me in my cheek.

I think 1 is right
but I want to make sure.
 
...but change 'Everyday' to 'Every day'.
 
And you are using "Mommy" and "Daddy" as proper names, so they need capital letters.
 
I would say that when preceded by "my", then no capitalisation is required:

Every day, my mum and dad kiss me on the cheek.

However, if you remove "my", then they are being used as titles:

Every day, Mum and Dad kiss me on the cheek.

In BrE, we don't use "Mommy". We use "Mum and Dad", "Mom and Dad" (Midlands/Northern dialects) or "Mummy and Daddy".
 
It's the same here (except for "mom" "mommy" versus "mum" "mummy").

Over Easter, I went to visit my mom and day.
My sister said, "Tell Mom and Dad I send my love."

In the example, they were names.

Yes, I was agreeing with you but elaborating a little.
 
And I was reciprocating the elaboration. :)
