Narrative:

We were the only aircraft being handled by the tower at the time. We were cleared to land some 5-6 mi out on an extended base leg (cleared to land on runway 31R). We were busy slowing and configuring the aircraft and turned on an approximately 3 mi final for runway 31L. We had all of our lights on and were never advised that we were lined up on runway 31L instead of runway 31R. It was on the rollout that we realized we had landed on runway 31L. We never heard a word from the tower about the occurrence.
