I know that the Saturday night Easter Vigil fufills your Sunday obligation, but is it okay to receive communion at both the Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday services. They are both so different and I’d like to attend them both, but I feel so left out when I go and don’t receive the Eucharist.

yes, it is fine. Just remember that you can receive the Eucharist twice in one day but no more unless there is an emergency (i.e. chance of death). Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

From the Code of Canon Law
Can. 917 A person who has already received the Most Holy Eucharist can receive it a second time on the same day only within the eucharistic celebration in which the person participates, without prejudice to the prescript of can. 921, §2.

and
Can. 921 §1. The Christian faithful who are in danger of death from any cause are to be nourished by holy communion in the form of Viaticum.
§2. Even if they have been nourished by holy communion on the same day, however, those in danger of death are strongly urged to receive communion again.
§3. While the danger of death lasts, it is recommended that holy communion be administered often, but on separate days.
